“I wish things were like they used to be.”

In today’s 309th episode of the Farmish Kind of Life podcast, I dig into the nostalgia of “the good old days” and examine our longing for a simpler past. Whether it’s the warmth of family gatherings, the simplicity of life without modern distractions, or the stronger sense of community, nostalgia often paints a picture of a time that seems idyllic compared to the chaos of today. But can we truly recreate those simpler times in 2025? And how accurate is our rose-colored view of the good ol’ days, anyway?

If you’re feeling the weight of modern life, I encourage you to let go of whatever guilt you have about not living up to an idealized version of the past. Instead, find balance—it is TOTALLY okay to embrace the conveniences of today while honoring the values that matter most to us.

We can’t go back in time, but we can adapt and create a life that reflects the best of both worlds.  Don’t miss the main topic that starts at timestamp 7:37 !
