About this episode
Hey y'all, welcome back to the Roots and Refuge Podcast! This week, I'm sharing some thoughts from the middle of a very full season—spring is here in South Carolina, and the weeds are wild, the animals are having babies, and I'm neck-deep in garden work. But in all of that, I've been thinking a lot about the difference between the idea of a thing and the reality of it. In this episode, I talk about the hard-earned truth behind romantic dreams, what it really means to "be the kind of person who bakes bread," and how choosing to show up—again and again—is where real transformation happens. If you've ever longed for a slower life or felt stuck waiting for better circumstances, this one's for you. Thank you for spending time with me today. If you've found encouragement here, consider supporting the podcast on Patreon , where you can listen early and join our monthly Q&A. As always—I bless you, until next time.
