In this episode, I talk about why life experience changes how you respond to hard times, why calm is something you have to earn, and why what feels like “OMG THIS IS THE END” might just be the beginning of learning that you’ll be okay.
What happens to the things you care about when life gets hard? Today I’m talking about what the last few months taught me about homesteading, priorities, pressure, and things we think matter… until they don’t.

Today we’re talking about how to be a light and how that doesn’t mean turning yourself into kindling.
