Two New Voices on the Sustainable Living Podcast!!!

Episode 131

Two New Voices

When The Sustainable Living Podcast got started, it was the fun project of Jenise and Marianne @mariannewest. Due to personal circumstances, Jenise had to step back from the podcast and Marianne was carrying on by herself.

Marianne started to rethink the podcast and where she wanted to go with it. Community is so important to her that she decided to turn the podcast into a project of many voices.

In this episode, two new voices are making their debut on the podcast.

Claire

Marianne and Claire met right here on Steemit where you can find here as @fishyculture. Claire represents the homesteader who has come to this lifestyle later in life and has to make smart choices now to make sure things are sustainable. In plain English, we are talking aging, homesteading and having the life we want.

This is the intro Claire wrote:

My name is Claire Cox, I was born and raised in Ohio I moved to Oregon at age 17, where I met and married my husband, Mark. He is an RN at the hospital "near" us, almost an hour away. We have 2 grown children and 5 grandkids, and 5 cows. About ten years ago we moved to the boondocks and we have been trying to live as self-sufficiently as possible. We have dabbled in permaculture, aquaponics, fodder feeding and many more innovative gardening concepts. It has been an incredible journey, lots of blood, sweat, tears, and laughter, and we even learned a thing or two along the way. We are nearing "retirement age" for my husband now, and so taking a long, hard look at the reality of growing old and homesteading. We need to make some changes... we invite anyone who is interested to tag along as we wander along!

Pia

Pia has been a listener of the podcast and Marianne and her met during her time in San Diego. Actually, this picture was taken at a morning coffee meeting at one of the local coffee shops.

Pia is deeply committed to creating a better world and has even started her own podcast!!! How cool is that!! It is called the Greeniw Group and you can find it here

Pia will be contributing a segment on sustainable travel once a month. We hope that you will love her first segment.
