You weren't meant to do this alone đď¸đ

Hi Reader! Can we talk about something no one tells you when you start homesteading? The feeling of trying to figure it all out by yourself. Homesteading adds a lot to your plate, and we wouldn't have it any other way. But, sometimes it can feel like you're navigating it alone. You scroll through Instagram and see women with overflowing gardens, perfectly stocked pantries, and beautiful homemade meals. Meanwhile, you're staring at a pile of dishes, a half-dead tomato plant, and a to-do list that never seems to end. And it can feel like no one in your real life really gets it. Your friends might not fully understand why you prefer making bread from scratch or growing your own herbs. Your family may wonder why you're diving into learning herbalism. So, you try to do it all on your own. You tell yourself, I just need to try harder. Be more disciplined. Manage my time better. But deep down, you don't just want a thriving homesteadâyou want connection. You want a space where you feel understoodâwhere you can ask questions openly, celebrate the little wins with others who understand, and feel encouraged by people who truly get it. Because hereâs the truth: Homesteading was never meant to be a solo journey. For generations, women did this together. They gathered to share knowledge, trade skills, and support one another. And it's time we brought that tradition back. Today's episode dives in to the ways we can find both local and online community to support you in this journey:
