Why Does the Regenerative Land Steward Life Feel So Hard?

If you’re doing the “right things” but feeling more confused or stretched thin, this audio and short reflection will help you make sense of why — without fixing or forcing.

A grounded reflection for land stewards healing the land, generating profit, and living their desired quality of life.

You are in the messy middle.

You care deeply about the land, your livelihood, and the life you’re building.

You’ve taken steps toward regeneration — learning, trying, observing — and now things feel heavier instead of clearer.

This isn’t because you’re doing it wrong.

It’s because decisions about land, livestock, money, and life are all connected now — and that’s harder to navigate.

Confusion isn’t the problem. Rushing clarity is.

In complex living systems, confusion is often a signal, not a failure.

My work isn’t about giving answers or prescribing solutions.

It’s about:

  • naming patterns you’re already sensing

  • slowing the decision process so coherence can emerge

  • helping you trust what you know, not just what you’ve been told

Clarity doesn’t come from more information.
It comes from making meaning of what’s already there.

You don’t have to steward alone.

Women in Regenerative Agriculture (WIRA) is a community for women land stewards who care deeply about land health, viable livelihoods, and a life that actually works.

It’s a place to think clearly, share honestly, and navigate the complexity of regenerative work — together.

Nature is complex!


‘Prescriptions’ aren’t sustainable


Balancing the land, the finances and your quality of life in decisions is tricky!


YOU are an important part of the equation!

I can guide you through a framework that will address ALL your concerns.

A framework that will:

  • give you principles and practices that honor nature to use as your foundation,

  • give you the knowledge and tools,

  • help you be proactive,

  • make a profitable living,

  • help create YOUR dream farm or ranch,

  • and help you make decisions that will move you towards YOUR desired outcomes!

I once was a corporate, city gal who purchased land and made every mistake possible as I tried to manage my land and make a living.

Then I learned a framework and became a fulltime, profitable rancher that continually moves towards my dream ranch (because it’s a work in progress)!

If I can do it, so can YOU!

“Thank you for such a powerful class!
I’m excited to implement the tools and decision making processes on my own homestead to help me get to my future vision.”

Waddell Farm

“Hardly enough positive adjectives to express the quality of the Christine’s passion to regenerate the soil, provide nutrient rich delicious food, and share wisdom so that we all may one day, do the same. I’m reluctant to say too much for fear Christine’s bounty will be swept up by the masses, but wouldn’t it be great if we all were healthy and happy?”

“Its amazing how intensive rotational grazing can improve forage in a relatively short amount of time!”

How I support land stewards:

I work with land stewards in different seasons — from early clarity to long-term integration.

Some people begin with conversation.
Some with learning together.
Some with deeper, ongoing support.

What matters most isn’t the format — it’s finding the right next step.

• 1:1 Decision Support & Coaching
For land stewards who need clarity, confidence, and a thinking partner for real-time decisions.

• Workshops & Field Days
Hands-on learning experiences grounded in holistic and regenerative principles.

• Thriving Land Steward Program
A group journey for land stewards ready to integrate land, finances, and quality of life into one coherent system.

I would love to guide you towards your dream operation!
