The real reason I started homesteading, the answer may surprise you!
I was longing for a simple, unhurried life. I was tired of hurling myself from event to event and answering all the dings of modern technology. I wanted to be calm and peaceful. It just happened that my whole life, as far back as I can remember, all I ever wanted was to be a mom, wife, and homemaker. I found myself in a place where I was living my dream, and I was even blessed with a fantastic business—one where I got to set my schedule and work around my family. But somewhere along the way, I forgot how to have fun and do things just for enjoyment. Life became this long checklist of to-dos, and if I could get them all done before I collapsed, then I had accomplished something, or so I thought.
I knew I had to learn to care for myself and escape survival mode. I knew I was not being the mom, wife, and person I wanted to be. Unfortunately, back in the day, I bought into hustle culture. Forgive me, my 20-something self. I thought that if I were ever going to be successful, I would have to work until I couldn’t see straight. And if I stopped to take a break, it would all come tumbling down around me.
As I started taking time to learn how to make things for my family, one often not-so-tasty meal at a time. I started noticing a peace inside of me, even joy bubbling from deep inside just like the perfect sourdough started, so there's some homesteading humor lol. The more I found myself in the kitchen creating, the happier I was. My family was also happy as my cooking improved, one slightly burnt cookie at a time. I realized that this was the life I was created to live, and for the first time in a long time, I had taken a deep breath, enjoyed the stillness, and knew that this was good. I was on the right path, the path of peace. As I continued on, homesteading was the next right step.
Along the way, I discovered what success meant to me and what would truly make me feel successful. It looks a lot different from the world's definition of success. Hustle culture is truly detestable to me, it only leads to burnout. Check out this episode and let me share my definition of success. Maybe it will inspire you to rethink what it means to you!
am so grateful for this path. If any of this hits home, please, the right path is just a step away.
Enjoy the show!
