The Homesteader Mindset: Self-Sufficiency, Mental Health & Sustainable Living with Elizabeth Bruckner

Welcome back to Light Body Radio!

 

Welcome to another episode of Light Body Radio.

In this enriching episode, Dr. Lara May sits down with Elizabeth Bruckner, licensed acupuncturist and author of The Homesteader Mindset.

Elizabeth’s passion for weaving together sustainable living with holistic health shines through as she shares her unique approach to cultivating resilience, balance, and meaning in today’s fast-paced world.

 

Drawing from over a decade of clinical practice in acupuncture and oriental medicine, Elizabeth explains how she empowers her patients by combining the wisdom of the five element theory with the power of habit creation. Her book, The Homesteader Mindset, is quickly becoming a go-to guide for those seeking not only practical skills for self-sufficiency, but also mental health strategies that foster clarity, confidence, and a deeper sense of purpose.

Throughout this conversation, you’ll discover how self-sufficiency is more than just a lifestyle choice—it’s a mindset that can transform your relationship with wellness, community, and yourself. From traditional skills to modern applications, Elizabeth offers empowering insights and accessible tools that will leave you feeling inspired to create sustainable change in both your inner and outer world.

Whether you’re a budding homesteader, a wellness seeker, or simply someone yearning to reconnect with your authentic self, this episode invites you to explore how intentional living and holistic practices can guide you toward greater fulfillment and vitality.

 
 

 

About My Guest:

ELIZABTH BRUCKNER

She is an Acupuncturist and Author. She wrote her first book for people just like the 2020 version of her, — people who want something different for their lives but don't yet know how to create it. Her book, The Homesteader Mindset, helps busy people tackle the overwhelm of creating a sustainable, healthy lifestyle through the creation of small, daily habits. Kind of like Atomic Habits for Homesteaders! She offer a link to a free download of her book to podcast hosts in case you are interested in learning more. Through research and experimentation, she taught herself to compost kitchen scraps, ferment like an alchemist, cook traditional food, and live a life that is more connected than I ever thought possible. Regarded as the Fermentation Maven, She speak to enthusiastic crowds on topics such as healing herbs in the kitchen, the life-changing power of habit creation for homesteaders and of course, the art of lacto-fermentation.
