Modern Families, Ancestral Skills Part 1: Raising Families Naturally – Real-World Solutions

Led by Courtney Sullivan, with Sarah Rose. In a world filled with noise, conflicting advice, and unrealistic expectations, raising a healthy family can feel overwhelming. In this conversation, Courtney Sullivan leads a grounded discussion on practical approaches to natural living—rooted in common sense, experience, and a deep trust in the body’s ability to heal. Together with Sarah Rose, we explore how to navigate everyday challenges, from simple home-based remedies to integrating homesteading into modern life, without falling into the trap of “doing it all.” This session also challenges the myth of total self-sufficiency. True resilience isn’t about isolation—it’s about knowing your strengths, recognizing your limits, and building supportive systems around your family. If you’ve ever felt unsure where to start, or pressured to do more than is realistic, this conversation will help you reconnect with your intuition and take meaningful, manageable steps forward.
