I think if you mix in some Eamon and Bec for the fun and adventure, Shawn James and his My Self Reliance channel for my dream of off-grid cabin living, nearby Jill Winger and the Prairie Homestead for realness, This Old House for the constant maintenance I'm doing, Simple Living Alaska for relatability and practicality, Shaye with The Elliott Homestead for her love of art in the home and garden, Angie HotandFlashy for her anti-aging routine, and Kalyn Nicholson for the spiritual side of me, and they might be right!
