The people and places
I actually trust.
Everything here is personal. These are practitioners I've worked with, farms I buy from, markets I shop at, and resources that have genuinely helped me build a healthier, more rooted life. No paid placements. No partnerships I didn't choose first.
Practitioners I Trust
Whole-person care from people who see you.
Each of these practitioners has been part of my own health journey in one way or another. They all share the same core value: bio-individual care, not one-size-fits-all protocols.
Conscious Leadership
Gina Urzi
True Aim Coaching
I've worked with Gina personally, and what sets her apart is the same thing that sets great practitioners apart in any field — she sees the whole person. As a certified conscious leadership coach, Enneagram practitioner, and emotional intelligence specialist, Gina doesn't hand you a generic framework. She builds something around you. If your nervous system is dysregulated, your leadership will be too. Gina gets that.

Sarah Smith
Four Energy Healing
Energy work isn't separate from the foundations — it's part of them. Sarah is a Reiki master I've trusted personally, and she brings the same bio-individual care to her sessions that I bring to mine. When the body carries stress and trauma that food alone can't touch, Sarah is who I send people to.

Dr. Manley
Vibrant MedSpa
Hormonal health is deeply personal, and finding a provider who treats it that way is rare. Dr. Manley has been part of my own health journey and he approaches every client as an individual — not a protocol. If you're navigating HRT, peptides, or aesthetic wellness and want someone who actually listens, he's your person.

I don't recommend what I haven't used myself.
Taproot Medicine
Strong Woman Syrup
I take Strong Woman Syrup personally, and when my daughter's iron dropped dangerously low during pregnancy, it was one of the first things I reached for. The difference it made was real and measurable. Taproot's herbal formulas are thoughtfully made and grounded in tradition — this is not supplement aisle stuff.

Local Food & Community
Know your farmer. Know your food.
Real food starts with real relationships. These are the farms, markets, and community resources I personally shop from, support, and trust. Most of them are rooted in SW Missouri and NW Arkansas — but their values translate anywhere.
Farm-to-Table Market
Oak Hollow Market
We watched Oak Hollow Market get built from the ground up — and we live right next to the farm that started it. I know personally what goes into the food, how the animals are raised, and the values behind every decision. That kind of transparency is exactly what I look for.

Homestead Help Desk
Run by the same woman behind Oak Hollow Market, the Homestead Help Desk has been one of my most valuable resources learning to homestead in a completely new environment. If you're navigating real food, animals, preservation, or just trying to figure out where to start — this is where I'd send you first.
Visit Homestead Help Desk →Raw Dairy & Farm Fresh
Red Bell Farms
This is where I get my milk. That's not a small thing — raw milk is a relationship of trust, and Red Bell has earned mine completely. Their standards for how their animals are raised and how their food is produced are exactly what I'd want my clients buying from.

Market 1928
Red Bell Farms runs Market 1928, which tells you everything you need to know. The same values that make their farm worth trusting extend to every product on their shelves. If it's there, it's been vetted.
