235 years of The Old Farmer's Almanac with Editor Carol Connare Ep 215

2026-10-0655:50

I'm so thrilled to have Carol Connare back on the pod again, just about 2 years later - I'm a big fan of Carol, and The Old Farmer's Almanac. The team at The Old Farmer's Almanac recently started their own podcast, AND the 2027 Almanac just came out in September, so I'm excited to hear all about what to be looking for. 2027 is the 235th anniversary of the Almanac, so there's a LOT to catch up on! I think I was too starstruck 2 years ago to ask about weather and climate change, but I did this ...

Replay: 23 Frugal Living Tips from the Great Depression You Need to Know with Jenny Boghun

2026-09-2901:01:28

I'm bringing back this episode from 2023 with my friend Jenny, who is such a wealth of knowledge and life experience; I'm currently bending her ear about house sale and buying, because she also worked for a real estate office... I loved this episode, going over this list of frugal tips from the depression - I love hearing about what earlier generations did, because it feels like things are just more reliable when you do it yourself, and I want to learn them all! The list link is at the end he...

Flip Whole Home Batteries with Rachel Marcus Ep 214

2026-09-2201:12:05

Rachel Marcus reached out to me on Linkedin with something I wasn't aware existed - except for solar panels. Rachel is the Head of Platform Operations for Flip Energy - they manufacture low cost, whole home batteries and create the technology to operate it as well. I only knew about batteries to capture excess solar power, but anyone can use these! Flip is not new, but they are working on building up a client base, starting in Maine. These batteries are a cleaner, more affordable altern...

The Future of Sustainability is in Good Hands with Hannah Foster Ep 213

2026-09-1559:09

Hannah Foster is my cousin's daughter (my 2nd cousin?), and I happened to see a post on Instagram where she was an intern this summer, and I felt first, SO proud, and also like we could all learn something from this. I haven't seen Hannah or my cousin in a few years, since before she graduated high school, so I missed what she was focusing on - and totally missed what an avid learner she has become, and also that she was doing an internship! It was so fun catching up with her, and hearing abo...

Self Work for World Work with Laura Hartley - Replay

2026-09-0847:47

I'm re-posting this episode with Laura because I need to hear it - I hope it touches you, too. She inspired me so much, and made me feel like progress is still possible. This conversation with Laura Hartley was like medicine for my soul - I hope this helps you to feel seen, too, because it was a message that I didn't expect or know that I needed to hear! I told Laura that I've felt a call to be more involved in what's happening in the world, but I lack the confidence to stand up when the time...
