About this episode
Hey y'all, welcome back to the Roots and Refuge Podcast—Season 2! After a long break, I'm back, and this time, it feels different. This episode marks the start of a new season—not just for the podcast, but for our life here on the farm. Over the past several months, we've made big shifts, choosing to slow down, simplify, and realign with what truly matters. In this episode, I share what led us to step back, reassess, and ultimately rebuild from the foundation up. From downsizing our farm to bringing our kids back home for homeschooling, we've embraced a quieter, more intentional way of living. It hasn't been easy, and there's been plenty of humble pie along the way, but through it all, we've found peace, clarity, and a renewed sense of purpose. I also reflect on how the journey of homesteading and content creation has evolved—what started as a dream to grow our own food has turned into a platform that reaches so many. But in chasing big dreams, it's easy to drift off course. Now, I'm focusing on being present, living for today, and letting everything else flow from that place of peace. I'm so excited to be back, and I can't wait to share this season with you. Thank you for being here—you are so welcome at this table. 🌱💛 If you'd like to get early access to episodes and join our community, check out our Patreon !
