So it is no secret that Christian and I have lived our lives in a pretty unconventional way.

And I've shared a lot of those pieces and parts on previous episodes of the podcast.

And you know, honestly, when I look back at the choices we've made, I'd like to be able

to tell you that it was all done with this grand plan ahead of time and we kind of had this

big vision of where we're going to take our life, but that really wasn't what happened.

It just kind of happened and we just kind of followed the leanings of our guts and our intuition

and what we knew was right for our family and lo and behold, it has created the life that we

have today, which is pretty unique and beyond, really, my wildest dreams of what I thought I would

be doing is a 36 year old mother of three out on the prairies of Wyoming. So it's worked out

well. And especially when we start to think about what our world is looking like today.

And by today, I mean the last year and a half, things are heating up, things are changing very

rapidly more so than I ever thought I would see in my lifetime to be honest. And I'm realizing

these choices that we made unintentionally have set us up for a whole lot of security in a whole

lot of peace of mind and freedom in these very uncertain times. And so I've been ruminating on

this a lot lately. And I thought I would share with you today kind of the four societal systems

that Christian and I inadvertently ended up opting out of that have literally changed the course

of our life forever. 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 am Jill Winger,
