You're listening to the old-fashioned on-purpose podcast, where ambitious people master the art of returning to their roots.

Have you found yourself disenchanted with society or wishing you could

opt out of the rat race? Perhaps you're craving a life that's meaningful and tangible,

a life where you can create and produce instead of merely consume.

I'm Jill Winger, best-selling author and longtime homesteader.

Over the last 10 years, I've helped thousands of families create more connection, grow amazing organic food, and find the ultimate fulfillment through an old-fashioned lifestyle.

And I can do the same for you. Now on to our episode.

Well we made it. It is the final episode of this season. It went way faster than I thought it would and honestly I have

enjoyed the season a lot more than I thought I would. You know I haven't shared a

lot of these aspects of my story previously, not necessarily because I was ashamed of them or anything, but just because I kind of thought no one would be interested.

But as I've gone through and just reflected on my

past and my journey of how I got to where I am today, it's been really cathartic to

share that and to put it out there and also just to hear your guys' responses and your feedback,

hearing how you can see yourself in parts of my story and also turns out

there's a whole lot of formerly shy homeschool girls out there who were just like me.

So it's been really fun to realize definitely not alone in that regard.

But we have gone on this journey through the past

and now we are back up to the presence.

And in this episode, I wanted to spend a little time

casting a vision of where we're headed next.

You know, people ask us this a lot, because I think from outward appearances we have kind of already hit the targets. We've already arrived maybe from what some people perceive.

You know, we're debt free.
