Nope. The Homestead is for anyone who values community, contribution, and shared wisdom. Whether you run a business or simply want to be part of a regenerative digital ecosystem that honours reciprocity and real conversations, you belong here.

The $44/month All Access includes full membership privileges, placement in our searchable Business Directory, and access to Sarah Swain's business coaching & Q&A calls.

The $22/m option gives you full access to the community space and all other calls.

Absolutely not. The Homestead exists off social media so you can engage without distraction, performance pressure, or surveillance. It’s a quiet, intentional digital environment. Like a back porch gathering without the noise.

If you’re craving deeper connection, purposeful collaboration, and a space that doesn’t rely on hustle culture, this is probably the soil you’ve been looking for. If you’re tired of extractive online spaces and want to give as much as you receive, you’re in the right place.

Yes. You’re not locked in. We trust our community to stay because it feels right, not because they’re stuck.

No, not at all. Come as you are, when you can, and participate in what feels aligned and exciting for you. Some members are deeply involved. Others quietly tend to their corner of the garden and pop in when they feel called. Both are welcome.

Not in the traditional sense. There’s wisdom, mentorship, and support here...but it’s community-led, not guru-led. Think: mutual mentorship over pedestals.

Everything here is rooted in reciprocity, contribution, shared stewardship, self-responsibility, integrity, and synarchy. These aren’t just words on a wall, they’re the compass for how we show up, engage, and evolve together. Simply put, this community doesn't work without them.

This community isn’t run top-down. Stewards are elected every quarter to help guide decisions and tend to the space. Everyone contributes in their own way, through energy, ideas, presence, or resources.

It’s a trust-based exchange model. You choose the contribution level that feels aligned, fair, and sustainable for you. If you’re receiving value, we trust you to give value in return -financially or otherwise. No hidden fees, no weirdness. 

We talk about it. With transparency, curiosity, and compassion. Value breaches aren’t punished, they’re discussed, learned from, and used as an opportunity for growth. We’re all human. Integrity includes owning our mess when needed.

We don’t monitor every action, but energy speaks volumes. If someone is continually extracting without engaging, they’ll feel out of place. The Homestead thrives when everyone plays a part, and we trust the natural rhythm of reciprocity to sort that out. There are so many ways to give - this isn't just about hosting calls. Your presence, connection, space holding, attendance, etc is all a form of contribution. Try not to overthink it.

Sarah Swain, Founder of Monetize Your Mind created the Life & Business Homestead because she was tired of digital spaces that felt transactional, performative, or hollow, and she could sense a growing fatigue with the traditional idea of memberships and digital communities. Everything just started feeling off for her, and she wanted to build something that felt more like a campfire than a content feed. A place where people could gather, grow, give and receive in ways that actually meant something.
When the idea hit, Sarah knew this wasn't just another MYM business community stage. This was a revolution of the entire concept of digital communities... a living ecosystem rooted in values, achieving synarchy.
