Summary

Welcome to episode ten of the Roots and Refuge Podcast. If you're new here, I'm so glad you're here. And if you've been with us for a while, I'm so glad you're here, too, thanks for coming back!

I love food. In the healthiest way. It's not my main source of comfort, though it is comforting. It's not my main source of joy, though I do find joy in it. It's not something I feel enslaved to at all, though I'm very thankful for the freedom it gives me.

It's for the love of food that I do so much of what I do. I hope, in this episode, you find yourself inspired to start making the change toward sourcing locally grown food and increasing how much you grow.

0:00.0	Hey guys, welcome back to the Roots and Refuge podcast. My name is Jessica Sowers. I am your host. My friends call me Jess, and I hope you will too. And here on our podcast, we talk about homesteading, growing food, gardening, raising animals, raising a family in a mindful way and sourcing our food
0:22.3	the same. My husband, Jeremiah, and I are homesteading on 27 acres in the Midlands of South Carolina,
0:29.5	and we have been sharing our journey on social media over the course the last several years
0:35.3	through YouTube, specifically on our channel
0:38.1	Roots and Refuge Farm as well as our blog at roots and refuge.com and Instagram and the
0:44.3	whole nine we're all over the place sharing little bits and pieces of inspiration.
0:48.7	Now the reason I really wanted to dive into the podcasting sphere and it took me a long
0:54.1	time to do it but I wanted to be into the podcasting sphere, and it took me a long time to do it, but I wanted
0:56.1	to be able to share kind of more long format conversation and thoughts, and to be able to sort
1:03.4	of stick some topics in your thinker that you could take them even after you end this and you
1:09.3	turn it off and you move on to the next task of your day,
1:11.6	maybe pose some questions to you or share my viewpoint that might fuel your fire in your heart
1:20.5	and maybe allow you to ponder in a place that maybe you hadn't thought about before,
1:25.5	give you a perspective you hadn't thought about before.
1:30.1	I'm a big believer in lending language.
1:35.6	So if you ever had an instance where you felt some way,
1:38.0	but you didn't really know how to describe it,
1:40.9	but then somebody else comes along and they say it, and you go, yeah, that's exactly it.
1:43.4	That's exactly how I feel about this.
1:45.4	But you didn't really have the words before.
1:48.0	And I think that we have the power when we share our experiences to lend language to other
1:53.9	people.
