BABBLING BROOK Podcast. EP. 14. Starting Over in an Isolated Rural Town: Self-Care, PMDD & Selling Online. A day in the Life

 Two months into living in an isolated Californian rural town, I’m still figuring things out—navigating PMDD, building a new routine, and focusing on self-care. In this episode, I share what my days look like, from journaling and mindset shifts to managing my online business.

I also talk about what it’s like living alone in a place this remote, the challenges and benefits of a more off-the-grid lifestyle, and how I’ve been making it work. If you’ve ever felt stuck, isolated, or in need of a fresh start, you might relate.Let’s talk about starting over, self-care, and turning a “side hustle” into a main hustle.
