Earth Day Everyday (and a Spring Bucket List!)
As people who have been created by God, we have a unique opportunity to have a hands-on, intimate role in cultivating sacred places on this earth. 🌍 We also have the choice and ability to contribute to desecration if we so wish. Which will it be?
Let's explore HOW we can we take seriously the great privilege we’ve been given to tend and cultivate good things on this earth - not just on Earth Day (April 22nd), but as a way we live our lives all the time. This episode is chock-full of inspiration and ideas for you to do just that, right where you are.
I also include some spring bucket list items and resources so you can take some intentional steps to soak up all the beauty of this season. Don’t miss it! 🌿

Nourishing Your Family & Community with Sophia Eng
Join me as I chat with Sophia Eng, a first-generation Vietnamese American, sought-after speaker, podcast host, and author of the brand new, beautiful cookbook, The Nourishing Asian Kitchen. She’s also one of my fellow Tennessee farmers! Sophia recently left a successful Silicon Valley career to start a 5-acre permaculture mini farm with her family in east Tennessee in the foothills of the Appalachian mountains. 🌄
As a busy, full-time working mom and homesteader, Sophia Eng is making nourishing, simple Asian recipes doable for anyone. 🍜 As Sophia says, “If I can do it, you can do it. It starts with one recipe at a time.”
In this episode, you’ll go on a journey with Sophia from urban California to a homestead in East Tennessee and hear how her Vietnamese heritage guided her along the way as she wrote her cookbook and started a farm. As she shares the powerful steps she took to turn her family towards land stewardship, nourishment, and community, you’ll be empowered to implement some of these practices in your own life and home.
Some of the topics we talk about:
Taking risks & living boldly
Multi-generational living & preserving family heritage
How to prepare for the future through healthy food & lifestyle choices
Why bartering and trading are practices we need to keep alive
“The beautiful web of being in community” and why it’s important
LISTEN IN, and let Sophia inspire you to nourish yourself and your family well, starting today! 💚

The No-Edit Life with Steven Bailey (part 4)
He’s back! Once again, there are NO EDITS and no plan for what to talk about! 🫢
Join me for another fun conversation with inspiring entrepreneur and incredible chef, my fellow farmer and adventurer, my husband, Steven Bailey. On the evening of a date night at home, Steven and I sit down to chat together again in the studio here on Kindred Farm about the joys and challenges of the huge building project we’re currently in the midst of, and so much more. What we share in this freestyle convo is what you get to hear!
A few of the things we discuss in this episode…
Carrying the weight of responsibility for a big dream project
How you can approach the “big barn project” in your own life
The opportunity to leave a legacy through what we create here on earth
Why Steven loves developing his artisan pizza recipes and why we want to offer more dinners, classes, and pizza experiences in the near future
There’s no shortage of creativity, but how do two dreamers dial in what we’re actually going to do in this new, incredible space we’re building? Join us as we figure it all out! 💛
Steven Bailey is a private chef, regenerative farmer, menu-creator, and farm-to-table consultant. Raised by a mother from the rice fields of South Korea and a father who grew up on a North Carolina tobacco farm, Chef Steven Bailey (a.k.a. The Korean Farmer) has been trained by his taste buds and unique Korean/Southern cultural heritage rooted in food and agriculture. As a private chef for his weekly clients and special occasion dinners, Steven crafts creative and inspiring food - from kimchi tacos to hand cut pappardelle, and everything in between. Steven attended Baylor University in Waco, TX, where he began cooking and baking and was probably the only guy in his fraternity to own a Kitchen Aid Mixer. Right out of college and living in Dallas, Steven started a missions travel company called 963 Missions and a fair-wage coffee company before founding Urban Acres, an organic produce co-op, market, and urban farm, in 2009. After selling Urban Acres in 2015, he moved his family to the rolling green hills of Santa Fe, Tennessee where they broke ground and began Kindred Farm.

"Root To Rise"
This episode is one of my favorites! “Root to rise” is a phrase that my yoga instructor always used to say, and I’ve never forgotten it. What’s beneath the surface - the roots - are just one part of the story. We root so we can rise strong above the surface. In this episode, I share inspiring and practical ideas from farming and gardening on why strong roots are so important, and we explore how rising strong is such an important part of rootedness.
Let's choose wisely what we're rooting ourselves in, because it determines how healthy our roots are going to be…and where our story is going to go.
Listen in! 🌱

Customer Reviews
I am a new life long fan and listener
I found her podcast, website and book (immediate purchase) via hearing her on the old fashion on purpose podcast which I equally adore! I love that she's a Christian and what she stands for believes in and shares. I'm also a Middle Tennessee resident and hopefully one day I can enjoy and visit her farm. That would be a true blessing! Please subscribe and listen as you will not regret it at all, and will truly be blessed.
Genuinely Delightful
I was drawn to Christine and all her lovely work (her book is wonderful! The Kindred Life) as soon as I started reading her work. So much so I made it a point to visit her farm on a TN visit and have visited her farm days on my annual trips. She is the real deal, a warm inviting soul who works so hard and creates beauty. But the best part is her passion to share it with others. Christine thank you for all the ways you show up to encourage us and share the beauty (your flowers are a dream come true!)
I love this podcast!
Not only is this podcast one of my favorites but the host Christine is so helpful. She reached out to me right away and walked me through step by step on how to leave a review, complete with pictures! Listen in everyone💕
