What’s up you beautiful peeps?
The wind is whistling through the redwood branches above my roof, the sun is hanging a little lower over our ridge, and—because timing is everything—we just dropped a new conversation I’m really proud of.
Introducing our new podcast episode: “Debunked by Nature: How Mollie Engelhart Reclaimed Truth Through Farming, Family & Community.” Spotify
Mollie Engelhart is a former vegan chef who now stewards Sovereignty Ranch in the Texas Hill Country. Her story is raw, grounded, and not afraid of the messy middle—how hands in the soil, animals on pasture, and raising a family can turn ideology on its head and return you to what’s real. Her forthcoming book, Debunked by Nature, traces that journey with the kind of honesty that makes you breathe deeper and question what you’ve been told.
What we dig into
- How the land became her hardest—and most loving—teacher.
- Moving from restaurant ethics to ranch ecology, and why “life & death” go hand in hand
- Building community resilience: feeding neighbors, hosting folks at the ranch, and keeping kids close to real work and real food.
- Choosing sovereignty at home: kitchen skills, local supply chains, and a rhythm that outlasts headlines.
This episode is about listening to nature and letting your daily life line up with what you learn there. If you’re craving to do things the old-fashioned way, this one will light you up!
