Summary

Hey, y'all! Join me for episode 36 of the Roots and Refuge Podcast. Today I have Leah from Homestead-ish with me, and we’re discussing what it looks like to embrace uncomfortable.

Both Leah and I know deeply that there’s something profound when following our own path, even when those around us are following a different path. Following God’s guidance can come with sacrifices, but when you know you're where God wants you to be, those sacrifices don't seem as big.

I hope you find today’s episode encouraging wherever you find yourself on your journey.

0:00.0	Hey guys, what is up? Welcome back to the Roots and Refuge podcast. I'm your host, Jessica Sowers.
0:10.2	I'm so glad that you're here with me today on my podcast where we talk about all things
0:14.1	homesteading, gardening, raising animals, growing food, preparing it, preserving it, enjoying it,
0:19.6	as well as living mindfully in relationship with each other and the earth. So, preparing it, preserving it, enjoying it, as well as living mindfully in relationship
0:21.6	with each other and the earth. So if you listen to the podcast regularly, you may notice it
0:27.5	sounds a little bit different today because I am not at home. This is my first podcast to ever
0:33.1	record on the road while I'm traveling. I guess not the road. I did not drive here. I flew.
0:39.9	If I drove and left my house when I did three days ago, I would still be driving. I am in Redding,
0:46.4	California currently. And I am here sitting with my dear friend, Leah. She has a YouTube channel called Homesteadish, and I have asked her to be a guest
0:59.3	on my podcast. So, friends, this is Leah. Thank you for having me. Oh, thank you for being here and for hosting
1:05.5	me this weekend. It's amazing. It's been amazing. And will you tell my friends a little bit about
1:13.4	who you are, what you and your family are doing? Yes. So we currently live in a neighborhood,
1:20.6	hence the name Homesteadish. I garden from our backyard some, which I'm very new to it.
1:26.2	My mom was an avid gardener. And I have always
1:31.4	wanted to, but just consider myself a brown sum. Like until about 2020, I started conquering
1:36.5	house plants. And I was like, okay, I can try and do this gardening thing more. I dabbled in it
1:42.4	here and there over the years, but nothing major.
1:51.3	So I'm doing this out of our backyard, but it has been my dream since I was a little girl to have a farm, to have the animals, to have the garden, like to have all of the things. And it just has never been
1:57.0	the time, which has been really hard for me to work through, but it's never been the time. But this last couple years, we have been looking for property and we found an amazing 41-acre
2:08.4	piece of land that was a total miracle that we got. And we are building it from scratch.
2:17.1	Yep.
2:17.4	So it is a lot of work, a lot of patience, and very expensive.
