About Us

Today’s Homestead is co-created by Jeanette and Heather—chosen family, creative co-conspirators, business partners, and housemates. Through this site and our YouTube channels, we’re sharing what it looks like to build a life—and a livelihood—rooted in intention, inspiration and flow. Between us, we’ve navigated chronic illness, cancer, single motherhood, neurodivergence, and spiritual initiations of all kinds. What we offer here is self-taught expertise, time-earned wisdom, and the real-world tools that help us keep going.

Jeanette is a shaman, artist, and three-time cancer survivor who’s now sharing her lifetimes of wisdom through meditations, chakra balancing practices, and reflections on the Gene Keys on her YouTube channel, MindBodySpa.

Heather brings her lived experience as a scrappy entrepreneur and single mother with chronic illness. She’s spent years developing practical, real-life strategies that make it easier to navigate life with limited capacity, minimal income, or shaky support—without giving up on what matters most.

Our version of homesteading isn’t about backbreaking labor, moving off-grid, or being isolated. It’s about creating a personal sanctuary for slowing down, tuning in, and lovingly tending to your whole self.

Here you’ll find wellness essentials we use, love, or trust enough to recommend—chosen with folks like us in mind: people navigating chronic illness, trauma recovery, burnout, single parenthood, or simply the realities and challenges of being human.

Want to see how this all plays out in real life? Find us on YouTube, where we share the messy, meaningful, everyday magic behind Today’s Homestead.
