This chapter discusses the notion of embracing all aspects of the homesteading experience, rather than just cherry-picking the highlights. It also explores the future of the homesteading movement, with the goal of reaching people who are currently unaware or hesitant about it. The vision is to encourage individuals living in urban areas to engage in activities like growing their own food and participating in community projects, in order to create a fulfilling human experience.
Ever wonder what living a truly grounded, meaningful life looks like in our fast-paced world? My guest Jill Winger did too. Her journey into modern homesteading not only changed her life, it sparked a movement guiding thousands back to their roots.
Jill shares why old-fashioned traditions like growing your own food and working with your hands reconnect us to what humans need. In her new book, Old-Fashioned on Purpose: Cultivating a Slower, More Joyful Life she offers honest wisdom on seeking balance between rural living and reality, pushing through struggles to find beauty, and taking small steps to cultivate a slower, more joyful life - no matter where you live.
