120. Why I'm Pausing My Homestead Podcast & YouTube Channel (for now…)

This was one of the hardest videos I've ever had to make. After three years, over 220,000 podcast downloads, and countless amazing connections with listeners and viewers, I've made the difficult decision to pause the YouTube channel and podcast—indefinitely.

In this episode, I open up about:

👉 Why I decided to step away for now

 👉 What's been happening behind the scenes

👉 How recent life changes (including my husband's layoff) have shifted our priorities

👉 What's next for me, my family, and our homestead

👉 The exciting new direction both my husband and I are taking with our businesses I'm still homesteading, still growing food, still raising animals—but my focus is evolving.

I've rebranded my other YouTube channel, now called Mona Weathers, where I help creators and entrepreneurs leverage YouTube to grow community and income.

I also host a growing community of creators inside Skool, where over 80+ members are learning to build sustainable businesses through content and connection. If you've ever listened to my podcast, watched a video, or shared my content—thank you.

Your support has meant the world to me. While this isn't goodbye forever, it is a pause so I can put my full energy into what's next.
