Simple Doesn't Mean Easy: Recent Episodes
Michelle Visser
Are you longing to simplify things just a little, amidst the crazy, loud, distracting clutter of life? That's where I was just a few years ago, when my family started on this crazy ride toward simplifying things. Since "simple" is almost never synonymous with "easy," I was pretty much a failure at everything I tried. But along the way I learned that it's not only okay, but actually GOOD that simple joys require hard work. So I'm here to be your Encouragement Mentor in this sometimes difficult effort to simplify. Because we can do this, guys. Together.
Are you often wanting to simplify the holiday season but find yourself sucked up in the busyness of it all without meaning to?
In this episode we'll talk about focusing on intentional gift giving, keeping the fun alive, repurposing unique things, and creating meaningful experiences with family. Listen in for 5 simple ways to be present and make memories this holiday season rather than getting caught up in commercialism.

Maybe you already know all the nutritional reasons to bake with fresh flour, but did you know the same benefits go hand-in-hand with flaking oats at home?
The lousy results of processing flour mirror the same results with oats you buy at the store: old-fashioned oats, rolled oats, and quick oats are all highly processed and void of nutrients.
This episode gives some practical advice on how to flake oats for maximum nutrients. It covers the variety of grains that can be used, and explains the benefits of fresh flaking oats. Michelle shares tips on choosing and using an oat flaker and offers alternatives with things you already have in your kitchen. Michelle also discusses flaking other grains, provides recipe ideas for nutrient-rich breakfasts, and promotes her resources like Fresh Flour University for deeper insights into whole-grain baking and health.

Processed sugars are killing us.
In today's episode, David Stelzer explains whythey will never sell conventional refined white sugar (it's insane). David is the founder of a family-run food supply company who has been working to change the broken food system in the U.S.
And I'm picking David's brain about every detail of all the sweetener options.
David dives into why conventional sugar production utilizes damaging practices like glyphosate spraying, artificial fertilizers, and burning leaves.

Planning is essential, but it's easy to overlook details.

Did you know all cheese is, essentially, made with 4 ingredients? And did you know that one of those ingredients has been outsourced to Pfizer?
Okay, not exactly, but essentially. When you start to research today’s topic– fpc rennet –you will find yourself down a dark rabbit hole without much transparency.
In today’s episode, Robyn Jackson, of Cheese From Scratch, opens this can of worms with us.
Join in as Robyn:
--walks us through the history of rennet
--explains why rennet is essential in cheese
--describes 3 ways that rennet is made, including one that’s the same as Ma Ingalls used in Little House in the Big Woods
--describes what happened in the 70s that drastically threatened the world of cheesemaking
--tells us what pfizer did in the 90s that changed everything
--assures us that, in addition to making our own cheese, there is one thing we can do to avoid GMO-derived cheese
So whether you want to learn to make your own, or you just buy some cheese sometimes, this episode is for you!

Fermentation is the only food preservation method that actually ADDS nutrients to your food. (Did you know canning can lose up to 50% of the nutrients?) If you’re confused by how to ferment so you enjoy the taste, how to eat your fermented food, or always questioning if you’ll know if it’s “okay” to eat, this episode is for you!
Find all the resources we mention and all my fermenting recipes too at https://soulyrested.com/preserve
Kirsten K. Shocke, author of the best-selling Fermented Vegetables, along with many other award-winning books, will get you excited about fermenting, showing you how to use fermented foods as nutritious, convenient ingredients in your cooking while busting myths and overcoming hesitations around this tried-and-true ancient way of preserving food that should be included in every modern kitchen. This episode will give you valuable insights and encouragement to start your own fermentation journey. Or if you’ve been fermenting for years, like me, you will glean new ideas and inspiration.

You know some foods would be better homemade, instead of out of a box... but this episode will call out 8 things that you genuinely, easily CAN make yourself and tell you HOW.
This is a replay from years ago, Season Four, episode 9.
You already know this isn't the best thing to be drinking, but you need to hear WHY...
And we don't just leave you there. In this episode we also break down 3 alternative drinks you will enjoy instead.
Are you in the middle of a difficult or confusing “next step”? Not sure if it’s “worth the effort”? Not sure if you should even bother with a seemingly “unimportant” project, goal, or personal milestone?
This Independence Day week I have 2 stories to share with you that never made it to a history book. One about a Founding Father you’ve never heard of & another about a seemingly unimportant effort made by a founding lady you know very well.
William Whipple and Martha Washington have something to tell you today… through their simple yet impactful actions, they emphasized the importance of taking small steps towards personal growth and building a legacy.
If you want to embrace simplicity in your lives, if you want to start truly appreciating the small stuff, these two uneventful stories may encourage you to make meaningful change..

If some details about food dyes and artificial ingredients and the FDA all left you scratching your head this last week, this episode will help you sort through the facts.
We'll discuss recent FDA announcements about synthetic food dyes & what they REALLY mean... the good, the bad, and all the other things rolling around in my brain today.
First and foremost, we need to be vigilant about food ingredients.
Our conversation today explores the FDA's response to food safety concerns, the impact of synthetic dyes on our health, and some great suggestions for all of us for natural alternatives.
Michelle encourages listeners to make small, manageable changes in their diets and always diligently being aware of Big Food's marketing tactics.
The FDA's recent announcements about synthetic food dyes are significant, but what does it all really mean for the average consumer?
Thankfully, consumer awareness is growing and many folks are more concerned about the safety of food ingredients.
That, combined with the fact that small changes in dietary habits can lead to significantly better health outcomes, and the fact that natural alternatives to food dyes can be used creatively in cooking and baking (we discuss many in this episode), gives us reason to see this week's announcement from the FDA as a win.
But the food industry often prioritizes profit over consumer health and the Delaney Clause, which we dive into in this episode, aims to protect the public from harmful additives but has grave limitations.

Would you like to be able to decipher the marketing ploys of the food industry? Would you like to know how to feed your family better quality meat while wading through the greenwashed terms?
If you've ever wondered what questions you can (& should!) ask of your meat suppliers, this episode is a must listen!
Doug Stonebreaker is answering all this and more in today's episode.
Doug is a life-long rancher and the Director of Supply Chain for 99 Counties--a one-of-its-kind platform that is connecting consumers to quality meats, from small, regenerative family farms in the midwest.
Doug shares his insights on the complexities of ranching, sustainable agriculture, and the challenges of sourcing quality meat. He also highlights the role of 99 Counties in supporting small regenerative farmers and addresses the overwhelming influence of big agriculture on the food supply chain.
We discuss the challenges faced by small farmers and the importance of understanding food labels and certifications. We dig into organic and grass-fed standards, the need for transparency in meat supply, and the evolution of sustainable practices in agriculture.

Let’s dive into YOUR specially curated podcast playlist! Press play on these (or download to listen later!) so you can make some progress even while you fold laundry or walk the dog. :)
In this episode, we discuss the FDA's approval process and the loopholes that allow potentially harmful ingredients to be included in the food we eat and the cosmetics we use.
I share the story of a popular food brand that had to recall a product due to severe health issues caused by one ingredient. One that was "FDA approved."
Join me as we talk about small ways we can be vigilant about the food we consume.

In this episode, we're joined by renowned salt expert, Darryl Bosshardt, who is debunking 3 common myths surrounding salt. We discuss the misconceptions about salt's health effects and the reality of heavy metals found in salt.
We touch on the historical context of dietary recommendations and the impact of processed foods on our health, we discuss the importance of trace elements in natural food, debunk misconceptions about iodine, and emphasize the benefits of consuming natural, unprocessed foods.
We explore the advantages of choosing real foods over processed alternatives, advocating for a return to clean eating and sustainable practices.
Lots more info here: https://soulyrested.com/the-ultimate-guide-to-salt-with-darryl-bosshardt-of-redmond-real-salt-s7-e1/
Just a few takeaways you gain after joining in on this conversation:
-While processed foods contain unhealthy levels of refined salt, natural salt is essential for our health.
-Heavy metals are present in all real foods, not just salt.
-Eating a balanced diet can mitigate heavy metal exposure.
-Natural foods contain trace amounts of metals, but our bodies can process them.
-Iodine is crucial for thyroid health, but iodized salt is not the best source.
-The iodine added to table salt is less than 10% bioavailable.
-It's important to be aware of the source of your food and its processing.

The studies mentioned in this episode:
This study in 1954 was the beginning of the anti-salt craze, when rats were fed copious (I’m talking insane) amounts of salt: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/13196737/
This study found that people eating less than recommended sodium had a 19% HIGHER risk of dangerous heart-related events: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/22110105/
This study found that for the general population, there is no significant risk of either immediately developing or worsening any existing heart health issues via sodium: https://jamanetwork.com/journals/jamainternalmedicine/article-abstract/2712563?guestAccessKey=8d6f8001-a1f8-4372-b8b9-a7d935d5d7a4&utm_source=silverchair&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=article_alert-jamainternalmedicine&utm_content=olf&utm_term=110518

Let's talk about 12 interesting facts about an iris.
We discuss the history and cultivation of Irises, their various species and variations, and their unique anatomy.
Michelle also highlights the role of the sepals as landing pads for pollinators and the presence of guidelines or nectar guides on the flower. She concludes by mentioning the short lifespan of an Iris flower and its significance in ancient cultures.
Some key points:
--Irises have been cultivated for thousands of years and are predominantly found in dry or cold climates.
--There are almost 300 species of irises, each with its own unique characteristics.
--The name Iris comes from the Greek word for rainbow, and the flower consists of three upward turned petals called standards and three downward turned sepals called falls.
--The sepals on an iris have bright lines called guidelines or nectar guides, which serve as a pathway for pollinators.
--An iris flower only lasts about three days, but the ovary produces a seed capsule with numerous tiny seeds.
--Irises have been used for medical purposes and perfume making in ancient cultures, and they have historical significance in French and Roman societies.

In this episode, I'm dishing out the insider details... I'm sharing six things I've learned as an accidental homesteader over the past 10 years.
The article this episode is based on: https://soulyrested.com/2015/11/30/following-directions-part-1/
A Homestead Checklist for every season: https://soulyrested.com/2020/08/23/a-homestead-checklist-for-every-season/
6 Ways to Start Homesteading BEFORE you own land: https://soulyrested.com/2021/02/28/6-ways-to-start-homesteading-before-you-even-own-land/
We discuss the therapeutic benefits of simple living, the importance of slowing down, the value of documenting experiences, the realization that goals may look different than expected, and the significance of delighting in the journey rather than just the destination.
I share how I have learned over the years to trust in God's timing, find joy in the process, and relish in the opportunity to help others along the way.
We discuss how simple living can be therapeutic and life-changing in our modern society of constant stress and how slowing down and focusing on simple joys brings lasting happiness and fulfillment.
We walk though the fact that documenting experiences is important for personal growth and for sharing with future generations.
Goals may evolve and look different than expected, but that's okay and often for the better.
Delighting in the journey and finding joy in the process is more important than reaching the final destination.
In fact, the process of working towards a dream can be more rewarding than achieving the dream itself.

We discuss:
-
God's kindness & how it can be seen in blessings
-
God's kindness & how it can be seen in the midst of suffering
-
Personal stories and experiences that have highlighted God's kindness for both of us
-
The importance of recognizing and appreciating God's kindness in all aspects of life

In case you think gut health may not be a factor for you, we run through the underlying causes for poor gut health. (Spoiler alert: everyone deals with at least one of these many triggers.)
We explain why gut health matters and how fermented foods can improve weight loss, boost immunity, and even reduce the risk of cancer.
Michelle concludes the episode by sharing all the fermented foods and drinks she regularly consumes, why they're her favorites, and specifically how she enjoys eating them.

In this special Thanksgiving bonus episode, Michelle Visser is joined by Drew Dyck, author of the brand-new book Just Show Up.
Grab a copy here: https://amzn.to/3G7ISml
We chat about the importance of being present in small but meaningful ways. This episode will remind you to be thankful for those who showed up for you in life while encouraging you with practical ways you can do the same.
Dyck shares how busy modern life often prevents us from truly showing up for the people and commitments most important to us. He also discusses the concept of "playing a role" even when your heart's not fully in it, because people need you to show up.
Visser and Dyck talk about looking back on gaps and mistakes in your life in order to determine how to move forward and fill those gaps for others. Dyck notes that finding your purpose often comes from starting small steps, not waiting for a big sign.
You'll also be encouraged to let some commitments slide, so you can be fully present where you need to be.
Overall, the episode will encourage you to just show up this Thanksgiving, and trust that life's meaning is found through small acts of faithfulness, not grand achievements.
We even share fun tips for making the most of Thanksgiving dinner.

Sugar is foundational to life and provides energy, but refined/processed sugars can damage our health.
In this episode, I'm talking with David Stelzer, founder and CEO of Azure Standard about why Azure does not carry conventional refined white sugar (it's insane really).
And I'm picking David's brain about every detail of all the sweetener options that I might choose .
David dives into why conventional sugar production utilizes damaging practices like glyphosate spraying, artificial fertilizers, and burning leaves.
We talk about how Azure Standard aims to maintain a higher standard and not compromise on questionable ingredients. -
David explains why it's best to transition your family's diet through a progression, not radical changes. And he describes how Azure carries products to help folks transition from standard American diet to healthier options.

In this week's episode of the Simple Doesn't Mean Easy podcast, host Michelle Visser dives into the topic of being an empty nester. She shares her unique experience of having an empty nest at different points over the years as her daughters temporarily moved out and back in, rather than all leaving at once.
Michelle explains that while she and her husband didn't do regular "date nights" when the kids were young, they made sure to spend meaningful one-on-one time with each family member, including each other, even if it wasn't alone time or a true "date."
She advises parents to start reconnecting more with your spouse as the kids become teenagers, while the kids are still at home and suggests some ways to do that.
Now that she's experiencing a true empty nest, Michelle loves having more time for fostering new friendships, personal hobbies, and even running her podcast. However, she notes you do have to be intentional about making time for these things.
Her best advice? It rings true for every season of life, not just the empty nest phase... Work hard at maintaining a positive attitude, focused on what's good - reflecting on what's true, noble, right, pure, lovely and praiseworthy even in the hard and difficult days.
Ultimately, Michelle didn't do anything specifically to prepare for empty nest life, but yet feels her overall choices as the kids were growing up, in the end, helped her usher in this new stage graciously.
She encourages listeners to enjoy the season you're in, invest in your family, and you'll naturally invest in your spouse too, which will, in the end, prepare you for the Empty Nest.
Menopause... There's so much no one ever told me about this stage of life.
In this week's episode of the Simple Doesn't Mean Easy podcast, host Michelle Visser opens up about her personal experience with menopause. She shares the symptoms and challenges she has faced over the years, which encompasses a lot more than hot flashes.
From weight gain, to dry mouth, brain fog, irritability, tooth decay, and other things you have probably never associated with menopause, Michelle offers practical solutions she has found to personally help her in each area.
Some might not come with surprise, like drinking plenty of water, eating real food, and exercising consistently. But other solutions might surprise you, from consuming adaptogens like ashwagandha and maca powder, to enjoying a specific tea blend and a specific healthy hot chocolate mix (links below).
She also emphasizes the importance of managing stress levels and getting enough sleep. Michelle aims to provide helpful information and reassurance that you are not alone or "crazy" if you are going through some of these symptoms from menopause that most folks simply don't tell you.

What did past generations know that modern society has forgotten?
Our grandparents had the satisfaction of making do with what they had (even when it was nothing fancy) versus our modern idea of a new $1,000 phone every year and replacement appliances every few years.
Follow the story of a boy named Thurman, who went to a 1-room schoolhouse & had to quit school in 9th grade to make sure his family could eat and worked multiple blue collar jobs to make sure his kids had a better life.
And Dorothy, a grandmom who lived to be 98 and was still active, fearless, and connected to her large family right up until the end.
What shaped Thurman and Dorothy's character? What could they teach us about being content yet working hard and fearlessly toward our goals?

This episode of the Simple Doesn't Mean Easy podcast focuses on Doing Things Scared... if we should, what it looks like, and some genuine results that I've seen along the way in my effort to make myself do things scared.
I share stories from my own life about starting projects like gardening, raising chickens, making maple syrup, and more, even when I didn't feel fully prepared or knowledgeable.
I want to encourage you to not over-prepare or overthink things, but to just dive in and learn as you go, even if it means making some mistakes along the way.
Will taking small steps and gradually gaining experience along the way eventually lead to achieving your dreams? Let's chat about this and more in this episode.
Oh, and I start and end with two very different stories. Make sure you catch the final story at the end. It's one I will never forget and I think it will help drive home this idea for you of doing it scared...

[He] is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us. Eph. 3:20
This summer was a very hard one for our family, from garden failures, to puppy trauma, to saying goodbye to two people who were very dear to us.
Other updates? I share an honest update on the new non-toxic cleaners we’ve been using & which work the best (recipes were all shared in S5 E19). And I give my thoughts on the natural face serum and protein powder I’ve been using this year.
Going through a difficult season makes us more aware of the little moments of joy that we might otherwise miss, so we really need to focus on the simple joys every day. It makes every day sweeter.
If we value the right thing–and build our “economy” around what really matters–we are joy-filled and blessed regardless of our circumstances.
Listen into the conversation as we dive into all of this and more.

I was tempted to buy cheap salt just for cleaners but then I realized minerals, particularly trace minerals, are very involved in the various protective properties of your skin. Trace minerals have been shown to be essential in fighting the damages of excessive sun exposure, wrinkles, and maintaining the moisture in your skin.
Minerals are tiny molecules that easily penetrate the skin, so topical application of minerals is a thing.
Why not add some trace minerals via my cleaners?

Sure, they may just look like little dried, brittle leaves. But they convert a skillet or dutch oven full of random food into a flavorful meal.

In case you haven’t guessed it, this episode is all about herbs.
I break down the 4 herbs I would never be without and the numerous ways I love using them.
We discuss how to grow, harvest, and preserve and store herbs all year long and my favorite way to actually add them to my food (straight out of a mason jar, with a flip lid, and crushed, via my palms, into my food).

RuthAnn Zimmerman and her husband were both raised in the Old Order Mennonite culture, with deep Pennsylvania Dutch roots. After deciding to leave the Mennonite community, they realized how much they treasured many parts of their cultural background: the heritage of simple living, a hard work ethic, discipline, and delicious, real food.
The foods they grew up eating are still very much the foods they serve in their kitchen today. So I think you’ll enjoy the tips and insights RuthAnn shares with us in this episode. If you’d like to watch instead of listen, this full interview is over on youtube as well. (https://youtu.be/bACapepTxXk)

NOTES FOR S2 E8:
- For a hosting company, there are many options. I love HostGator & my tech website friend recommends DreamHost. (I talk more about hosting in episode 6 of this season as well.)
- If you’re using a Wordpress free theme work at customizing it yourself, find a professional designer— use the nifty designer search tool here —or check out these guys and the awesome sites they create.
- Look into Search Engine Optimization. The free resource I mentioned: This is the helpful free resource for choosing valuable, well-searched key words. (2-3 searches a day). Decide best wording (see what google says) use that in title & 1 subtitle and a few times in article so google knows what you’re writing about. Learn how to get it pinned. A lot. And see if you can get strong backlinks to it. But if you want to dive in and learn from a pro, my friend Kelly of StickyBlogging seriously teaches you everything you need to know about SEO and it all starts with the great free content she has for you right here.
- Set up an email service, with MailChimp, ConvertKit, or Flodesk. Then create funnel ebooks or printable or exclusive access videos. Decide 3-4 topics and create something irresistible. (I use Canva Pro) Store it in google drive or dropbox or on website then create shareable links and share that as a url that auto pops up when subscribe. Create 3-4 sets of emails that eventually offers them a product you’re selling in that category and then adds them into your weekly email when they’re done the funnel.
- Start social media accounts, creating all the accounts in the same name as your blog’s name. (My ig isn’t)
Finally, consider learning from a true pro, with Lisa’s classes Create Your Blog Dream and Video for Bloggers. (Or sign up for both right here.) And StickyBlogging is invaluable for learning about SEO.
