FuturesteadingAuthor: Jade Miles
This is a conversation about the future. About creating a culture that values tomorrow. We reckon a slower, simpler, steadier existence is the first step - one thats healthier for humans and the planet. We call it Futuresteading. Each week we chat to community builders, ritual makers, food growers, health wizards and environmental wisdom keepers, gathering practical advice and epic solidarity - so we can all nut this thing out together. Join our nitty, gritty, honest and hopeful convo every Monday during our 16 episode seasons.

Ep 215 Jodi Wilson - Learning to See the Earth with Your Body, Not Just Your Eyes. Summer Days Throwback 2026
Episode 215
Sunday, 25 January, 2026
Author of Practicing Simplicity, Jodi Wilson faced a fear of complacently which grew bigger than her fear of change and it prompted her to pack her 4 young chillins into a caravan for a life on the road and the building of a whole new rhythm. Over the coming years, they got comfortable in the discomfort of change, uncertainty and discovered that the ritual of stirring porridge shouldn’t be underestimated, nor should the remarkability of the ordinary. She encourages us all to take small steps and make brave choices. We need to step outside our front doors, go for a walk and chat to our neighbours.*Recorded pre federal electionDeciding, on a whim to take her 4 children around Australia in a caravanLetting her intuition dominate her decisions towards a leap of faithConsciously close mental tabs Unravelling the sense of obligation to time frames and social normsIf we are privileged enough to make choice, we have a responsibility to make changeWhy it’s important we don't get stuck in our bell jarHow a life on the road in a caravan with 6 people helped refine what we really need in our life.Making conscious decisionsSustainability as humans - constantly running,Creating a life she believed in not one she was wedged intoIntuition led - heart and gut. If it doesn't feel right it can’t be continuedWhy she cant access her intuition or gut instinct if she is anxiousSpending time in nature, barefoot on sand, in deserts, Finding a sense of belonging and connection in ancestral landscapesMaking major decisions via a woven path of experiencesThe romance of a roadtrip was appealing but the reality was that I had to get dirtyYou carry the dirt of your travels are carried in the crevices of your skinReminiscent stories of they’re 2.5 years on the roadSettling in Tassie in a 1950’s bungalowDefining what it is you DO WANTCreating ritual and time for self while on the roadLooking at the stars and basking in the silence of the nightCreating more time in your life because of the choices we’ve madeSimplicity starts where you are with what you have - simplicity is an attitude and a mindsetSimplicity ebbs and flows with the demands of our livesCollective heartache and collective exhaustion We haven't evolved from the primal beings we are but we have been distracted.Nothing gets done unless you take small steps towards itReplacing the perfectionist hurdles of ‘shoulda’ with the compassionate reality of “I will when I can”Feeling like a local when the neighbours stop for a chat and the shop owners know your nameLiving with little and raising her kids to see this gives her hopeReferencesPracticing Simplicity - book, blog and socials of Jodi WilsonKirsten Bradley Futuresteading conversationRadical Hope ClubBuy the Book - Futuresteading - Live Like tomorrow mattersSupport the showCasual Support - Buy Me A CoffeeRegular Support - PatreonSupport the show
