Summary
Hey, y'all! Join me for episode 41 of the Roots and Refuge Podcast.
I’m back with an all-new podcast today, and I have a special guest in the studio with me. Chrissy Marsh, from The Hope Homestead, is with me today to discuss her journey from homesteading in Australia to now homesteading in America.
She and I have many commonalities that started us on our path of a more natural lifestyle, which ultimately led us both to homesteading. Come listen to her journey of acclimating to the U.S. and the differences she’s noticed.

| 0:00.0 | Hey guys, what is up? Welcome back to the Roots and Refuge podcast. My name is Jessica Sowers. |
| 0:09.7 | My friends call me Jess, and I hope you will too. I'm so glad that you're here today. I have a guest |
| 0:14.5 | sitting down with me in my office. She's come a far, a long way and a much longer way before that interesting story into how we are |
| 0:25.1 | here because I feel like people would be like what's the background this weekend jeremiah and I |
| 0:31.0 | and our children went up to Clemson south carolina for an event called the farm where you live event |
| 0:36.2 | we were asked to be speakers. |
| 0:38.8 | And of course, we go with the full intention. Anytime we're invited to speak somewhere, |
| 0:45.6 | we want to engage with our viewers. We want to meet the people who support us. And it's interesting. |
| 0:52.1 | A lot of times we'll have friends there that are presenting and stuff. |
| 0:54.8 | And a lot of times we don't even get a chance to see them much or talk to them because we come to those events primarily for our viewers. |
| 1:01.4 | And we will spend all the time we have trying to connect with people. |
| 1:04.5 | And of course, at this point, our platform has grown to where I don't get to respond to all the messages I get. I don't get to have everyone |
| 1:12.9 | who requests to come see my farm, come see my farm. You know, we have to decline so much, |
| 1:17.5 | which feels really bad, honestly, because I genuinely wish we had the capacity to be able to connect |
| 1:22.7 | one-on-one with everybody. But my prayer has always been that the Lord would highlight the places that he |
| 1:29.5 | wanted us to give our attention to. And while we were at this event, this family comes up and |
| 1:35.4 | starts chatting with us. We noticed that they have Australian exits. And so we learned that they |
| 1:39.9 | just recently moved to Texas about six months ago from Australia. And we start having a conversation. |
| 1:46.5 | We're having a conversation with their children. They walk away and I turn to Jeremiah and I'm like, |
| 1:51.4 | there's something about them. Like I really, I really like them. And so I asked them, hey, |
| 1:56.2 | would you mind coming by our RV later? We're parked here. I'd love to chat with you guys more and |
| 2:00.5 | hear more about |
