Welcome to the Old Fashion on Purpose Podcast.

Failure.

How do you feel when you hear that word?

It's kind of heavy, isn't it?

It's definitely not a happy, bubbly word.

I have noticed that the number one thing that stops people in their tracks from pursuing the homesteading lifestyle that they really want to be a part of is the fear of failure.

It is rampant, it is common and odds are you have dealt with it at some point in your life, if not right now.

Today's episode, we are going to dive deep into the depths of failure.

I'm going to tell you how I have learned to kind of get cozy with it over the years and I'll give you a list of our biggest homestead failures because sometimes it helps to be able to learn from other

people's mistakes and I'm determined to banish this fear of failure once and for

all. I'm your host Jill Winger and this is the

podcast for the Trail Blazers, the Mavericks, the Makers, the Homesteaders, the Modern

Pioneers and the Backyard Farmers. If you're ready to boost your food security

and live a more homegrown lifestyle, this is the place for you. This episode is

brought to you by Lehman's Hardware, my number one all-time favorite store for all things homesteading and old-fashioned living.

More than ever, I want to be supporting small businesses right now, and

laymen's is a shining example of that. Not only do they carry everything from

gardening supplies to kitchen equipment to all sorts of really cool off-grid appliances.

They are family owned and operated, and I completely fell in love with their mission when I visited their store in the tiny town of Kidren, Ohio last summer.

For a limited time only, if you use the coupon code Jill May you can save 10% on all of

their baking supplies which yes that includes their heritage stoneware bowls know, the ones with the blue stripe that you've seen in my YouTube videos.

Yep, those are included too.
