Summary

Hey, y'all! Join me for episode 38 of the Roots and Refuge Podcast.

In this podcast, I’m discussing the necessity and importance of accepting differences and embracing diversity in the homesteading community. I’m sharing how I haven’t been showing up 100% as my authentic self and how that’s affected me over the past few years.

I’m also sharing what I’m doing about it now and how I’m speaking back against those who made me make this decision.

0:00.0	Hey guys, what is up and welcome back to the Roots and Refuge podcast. I'm your host, Jessica
0:09.0	Sowers. My friends call me Jess, and I hope you will too. I'm so glad that you're here today
0:13.5	listening to my podcast where we talk about all things homesteading, growing food by raising animals,
0:19.3	growing gardens, preserving food, preparing it,
0:22.2	enjoying it, sharing it, as well as just trying to live more mindfully in relationship with each
0:27.6	other and with the earth. We post new podcast episodes here every Wednesday and our Patreon
0:33.6	members get those episodes a week early as well as monthly live chats with us. So we'll
0:40.2	put links to that in the show notes if you'd like to check it out. Today I don't really have a ton
0:46.1	of advice or kind of how to and the topic that I want to talk about. But I sort of stumbled into
0:53.1	something while shooting a vlog this week. And I wanted to talk about, but I sort of stumbled into something while shooting a vlog this week,
0:55.5	and I wanted to talk about it in a podcast while it was sort of fresh in my mind
0:59.2	and while the responses from everyone that commented and messaged after that blog were fresh in my mind.

1:20.8	Sometimes I really know what I want to say when I turn a camera on.
1:24.2	Sometimes it's just like hanging out with friends, which is really what I wanted to
1:28.3	feel like for people. I really want people to feel the experience of just popping in and having a
1:33.4	little window into my life I've shared before. Like I want to live in a glass house and allow people
1:38.2	to see how we really live in a way that may inspire and empower and instruct them. But sometimes I will have like an idea that I'm
1:48.1	going to talk about and I sort of just stumble into a topic and sort of just feel led to share.
1:55.8	And this week we butchered our turkeys, which was, you know, part of homesteading life. We ordered these
