After six years of podcasting, I’m sharing why this will be the final episode of the Simple Farmhouse Life podcast. I’m also giving a personal life update, what’s next for my business, and answering a few of your questions on sourdough, from-scratch cooking, and motherhood! In this episode, we cover:
- The decision to sunset the podcast after six years and the thought process behind finally letting it go
- A look at the natural course of business: years of building, a season of maintaining, and now intentionally pruning
- An exciting home building update: nearing the end of our long build and preparing to move within weeks
- Q&A on cooking from scratch and fermenting foods even in a very small space like an RV
- Practical ideas for making sourdough work in a colder home and how to adjust timing based on temperature
- Encouragement around speech development and the wide range of “normal” seen across my nine children
- A look back at cloth diapering in earlier years versus choosing convenience in a different season
- Thinking through room sharing in a large family and why personality and season matter more than exact age
- How to handle sick kids, competing needs of small children, and getting through hard moments when you don’t have extra help

So it's been a little over six years ago now that I have been podcasting every single week on this show. I've enjoyed it. I've had some really awesome conversations. And so I'm gonna share a little bit in this episode why I've decided to stop this show, and also what you can expect for the future, because of course, I'm not getting off the internet. [upbeat music] My name is Lisa, mother of nine and creator of the blog and YouTube channel, Farmhouse on Boone. On this podcast, I like to talk about simplifying your life so you can live out your priorities. I help you learn how to cook from scratch and decorate on a budget through this podcast and my courses, Simple Sourdough and the Simple Sewing series. I will leave links to these resources in the show notes and description box below. Now let's get into the show. [upbeat music] As you can likely tell from the title, this is going to be the last episode of the Simple Farmhouse Life podcast. Now, I never say never, because you never know when seasons may change, and even though we are sunsetting this, the sun may rise again. I actually heard another podcaster say [laughs] that when they announced that they were ending their podcast. But it is true, for now at least, and for the foreseeable future, I have decided to sunset the Simple Farmhouse Life podcast. You all may have noticed that we went down to two episodes a week for the last couple months. I wanted to phase this out very gently.
