Five years ago, my husband and I along with our three children packed up our new build in suburbia and we moved to the country in hopes of finding a more simple and more less distracted life. For me, I was in a way returning to my roots, as I grew up in the country, but what I didn’t know was that I had been led out to the “middle” of nowhere where I’d gain confidence through leaning into new experiences and would transform how I see the world through the restoration of our 1837 farmhouse and in our homesteading endeavors.

Want to become rooted in living your best life?

Tune in now for a quick pick-me-up as I share stories and lessons I’ve learned through living in the middle (of nowhere) where we are restoring our 1837 farmhouse and stepping into new homesteading experiences which have revealed and contributed to a more purposeful life.

Unapologetically You: Embracing Authenticity and Showing Up in the World- Navigating Societal Pressures and Expectations Part 2 – Grounded in the Middle.

This week's topic on the podcast: "Navigating External Expectations and Societal Pressures." Even as adults we are subjected to societal pressures to conform to what society tells us we should be and if we mold ourselves by what the world is putting out there, we're subjecting ourselves to losing ourselves and becoming less of who the world needs us to be-our own unique self. Show Notes: Ralph Waldo Emerson-To be yourself in a world that is constantly trying to make you something else is the greatest accomplishment.
