back at the beginning of the season when we kicked it off i alluded to the fact that our life has

changed quite a bit and if you follow me over in my newsletter or on social media, you've probably

gotten that sense. Our goals are a little bit different right now. We're working on some different

projects. And the typical pattern of life that we have followed for the past, I don't know,

15 years is just different. Not bad, but different. And so I've been thinking about this a lot

as I contemplate how to show up in my own life,

how to show up here on the podcast, how to show up on social media, what that looks like, how it's

shifted. And so I wanted to dive into that today. This is our last episode for this season before

we take a little break. So I figured it was a good time to explore this idea of what it looks like

when homesteading takes a back seat. So here we go. Welcome to the old fashioned up purpose

podcast. This is the show where we look at what we have left behind as we have race towards

progress as a culture and how we can get good pieces back. I'm your host Joe Winger. I have been

doing this homesteading thing long before it was cool, long before it was

trendy, long before trad wife was a normal term that we all talked about.

And I'm really passionate about helping people ask better questions, be inspired to take risks

and kind of adopt some of these old-fashioned skills into

their everyday modern lives. So, yes, this is the end of the season. I'm going to take a bit

more of an extended break than I normally do just because I am working on the cookbook pretty

heavy right now.

My deadline is actually September 1st of this year, but I know how summer goes, and it's insane and ridiculous.

And so I want to have the bulk of the recipe testing done by May 31st, which is coming

right up.
