In this chapter, they discuss the reactions and challenges they faced when making the decision to pursue a homesteading lifestyle. They share a specific memory of a family gathering where they brought goats to a barbecue, causing confusion and judgment from those around them. They also explore the underlying drive and yearning for a connection to nature and a desire to live a more active and intentional life.
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.
