The Wildly Capable Show
Everyday you wake up with a choice. You can either face life's challenges head on or let life happen to you.
A few years ago, as a family, we decided to make a change. We wanted to become wildly capable. Now we're on a mission to equip ourselves with the knowledge and skills necessary to thrive. We want to train hard and run fast towards our goals.
And we apply this energy to every aspect of our lives—parenting, business, health, and marriage. This show is designed to explore ways to increase our capacity and and enable us to aggressively live out our calling.
We don't shy away from challenge. We charge the storm.
Welcome to The Wildly Capable Show
The Wildly Capable Show
Pursuing excellence in motherhood, avoiding burnout as a homesteader and mother of seven, and overcoming feeding challenges for children on the autism spectrum
For today's episode we are resharing one of our favorite episodes of all time.
In this episode, we sat down with Lauren Halcik, a mother of 7, a homesteader, homebirther, and homemaker in rural Utah. Lauren shares her journey of transitioning to a whole food diet to support her oldest daughter on the autism spectrum. She also discusses the importance of involving children in farm work and household chores, allowing them to develop life skills, and relinquishing control so they can grow in their autonomy.
