Summary

Join in on my conversation with the author of Radical Homemakers and Redefining Rich as she breaks down the meaning of "homemaker" in ways you've never thought of. In today's episode, Shannon and I talk about how a true homemaker learns skills so she is free to live by the principles that are most important to her, all the while working through the important steps of renouncing, reclaiming, and rebuilding, and figuring out what these steps look like for her. Shannon and I talk about what i...

0:00.0	Hey friends, welcome back to the old-fashioned on-purpose podcast. As you know, my theme this season
0:06.0	is diving into some of my favorite authors and some of my favorite thinkers. And today I am very
0:12.2	excited to have the author of this book with me today, Shannon Hayes. I know this will be
0:15.9	backwards in the video. But I have known about her book Radical Homemakers for a while, just kind of
0:21.2	on the periphery of things I was fighting on the internet. But it wasn't until this last spring,
0:26.4	when I was researching my own book that I came across it again and decided to dive in. And it was
0:32.3	excellent. And so even though Shannon wrote this book in 2010, I feel like so many of the ideas and
0:37.7	concepts that she shares. And what she has continued to share in other platforms that she has is
0:43.2	so relevant to what we're seeing in our culture right now, especially in this homestead sphere.
0:47.6	So Shannon is the author of several books. We'll talk about those today. She's a business woman,
0:52.0	a homeschool mom, and a podcaster who holds a master's degree in sustainable agriculture.
0:57.3	Her essays and articles have appeared in many renowned national publications, including The New
1:02.0	York Times, The Boston Review. And welcome, Shannon. I am so excited for this conversation.
1:08.1	I'm so glad to be here, Jill. Thank you. So we'll just dive right in if that's okay with you.
1:14.5	Okay. So I was alluding to this a little bit when we just joined the call initially. So I've
1:21.6	known about this book for a while. I've heard people reference it, but I'm just going to be really
1:26.0	up front right off the bat. I was put off by the title like for a while because, and it's my own
1:32.8	hang up, it's nothing that you did as an author or anything. I come from I came from a very strict
1:39.5	religious sect where home making and the way they define home making was kind of used as a weapon
1:45.7	and a very limiting idea. And so anything that had the word home maker attached to it, I,
1:52.8	you know, again, personal hang up. I was like, oh, that's not for me anymore. I don't want to
1:57.0	broach that, but when I actually opened your book and started reading it, I realized it's
