Summary

When you feel like your life just isn't jiving with your passions, what do you do? How do you know when it's time to make a big risky change? That's what this episode is about as Tsh talks with Haley Stewart, who just moved across the country with her family. They left what they knew but was a less-than-ideal job and moved to live on a farm, where her husband is an intern. They're learning to farm! Links from this episode: Haley's blog, Carrots for Michaelmas Haley on Instagram, Facebook, and Twitter Notes From a Blue Bike Fixer-Upper Waco, Texas Last Child in the Woods Haley's happy thing: Librivox (especially books read by Elizabeth Klett and Karen Savage) Tsh's happy thing: Yoga with Adriene Head here for more on this episode, and follow Tsh on Twitter and Instagram. Also, if you enjoy the show, would you kindly leave a short-n-sweet review on iTunes? It really helps new people find the show, and is also sprinkles magic fairy Apple dust on our hard work, if you get our drift. Thanks. (Details here on how to leave a review.)

had a big life shift. She and her husband and three kids moved from Florida to Waco, Texas,

where they now live on a teaching farm, where her husband is an intern. He left the cubicle life to pursue his dream

of one day running a farm, or at least having farming being an integrated part of their life somehow.
