Summary

No matter what stage of homesteading you are in, the list of tasks to complete and projects to tackle is seemingly endless. The eagerness to get it all done and see your dreams come to life can easily leave you feeling overwhelmed. Danielle found herself with bigger dreams than she had time and money for, so she created the Run Back to Your Roots 365 challenge to help herself master those skills one by one. Before long, she had thousands of people joining her in each month’s homestead challenge, everything from canning to fermenting to baking bread and more. Join me for this conversation with Danielle as we dive into what it looks like to pursue your dreams little by little.

In this episode, we cover:

How it is possible to homestead on rented property
The importance of learning homestead skills even before you have property
How to get started when you want to learn everything at once
Shifting your mindset to let go of perfection and accept failure
Finding the time to learn new skills when you already have a full plate
Getting over the hump of starting something new until it becomes second nature
Breaking down the practical beginning steps of going after your goals
Clearly defining your “why” behind pursuing your goals
Structuring your days to work toward your goals little by little
When you have to put some of your homestead dreams on hold to tend to other areas of your life
Helpful tools we each use to manage our to-do lists
Choosing what to let go of on overwhelming days or in overwhelming seasons
Holding on to your peace in the midst of working hard for your goals

0:24.9	homestead on a rental farm. So, so much inspiration to share through different seasons of life
0:32.4	that you don't have to have everything perfect to be pursuing and putting one foot in front of
0:37.4	the other. So, we're going to be talking about that. How to do new things, learn new things while

1:48.4	So, we do not own our, yeah, we don't own our house. We don't own our land, which I think is a
1:52.4	really important part of our story. Yeah. It's a little bit unique to the homesteading community
1:58.4	because you don't get a lot of it, but I'm here to show that it is possible. I'm a watercolor artist
2:03.3	as well as a full-time graphic designer. So, I do have a nine to five job, but I do work remotely,
