So often on this show we allude to the past or returning to our roots. We talk about heritage skills and just how our ancestors

moved through life.

So that's a common topic, but I've realized

that one area of that, that I haven't really directly addressed is how you can use your past, your family's legacy, your family's history, and really draw on that for inspiration and motivation as you yourself move into a more

old-fashioned life.

So I think this is a really interesting topic. I have kind of mixed experiences with this which I will share as we get into this conversation, but I'm so thrilled to have a woman who knows this inside and out and is a beautiful example of living it in real time.

So I have Dolores Toronto with me today. You may have come across her over on Instagram. She is a writer, a

podcaster, a photographer who explores creating beauty by hand, old world

style, ancestral traditions, and of course food. We're going to talk about food today

because I mean how can we not talk about food? She's a daughter, a wife, a mother and

likes to write about those things too. So I had the privilege of being on Dolores's

podcast I think it was last year we just hit it off like it was the best

conversation and it was one of those interviews where I got off of it I'm like I just like her where you could be friends in real life.

So she's on my podcast today and we are going to talk about this topic and do a deep dive.

So welcome Delores. so happy to have you.

Jill, thank you so much for having me and I of course felt the same way.

That's one of the wonderful things about doing a show like this is

you can have people that you really want to meet on your show and then you

can become friends with them. It's like the dirty little secret of

podcasting you know like I'm doing it yes to put great

conversations out for listeners but also it's selfish.

Totally and I said that I'm like they're like thank you for this this content I'm like it's
