Has your passion for homesteading shifted?

In episode 307 of the Farmish Kind of Life podcast, I’m talking about the evolving landscape of homesteading. Once defined by an all-consuming passion, some homesteaders are now experiencing a shift. It’s got them wondering if their excitement has faded or if they’ve simply moved on to other interests.

Today I’m sharing my thoughts on why this change is happening, while reflecting on the pandemic’s influence and the natural ebb and flow of enthusiasm. I also dig into the complexities of identity, community, and personal growth within the world of homesteading.

Is homesteading just a phase? Or is it possible to embrace it as a part of a broader lifestyle? Let’s redefine what homesteading means to us and how to find joy in the journey, even when the spark feels different.

Whether you’re a seasoned homesteader or just starting out, this episode offers valuable insights and encouragement for anyone looking to find balance in their life. Tune in and discover how to embrace the journey of lifesteading—building a life that includes more than just chickens, sourdough, and tomatoes.

The main topic starts at 7:54. Hope you find today’s episode helpful!
