56 分钟One of the questions I get most often is, like, how do I start this homestead thing?
I'm not going to move to Wyoming like you did.
So what do I do?
And I always start with the food.
I especially love growing something.
It could be a tiny garden in your backyard.
It could be an herb garden on the window sill.
If you live in an apartment, you could put some stuff on your balcony if you have one.
Because just the mere act of growing something, of creating a deeper relationship with nature, of getting your hands in soil, it does something for us as humans.
It changes us.
And I feel like if I can just get people to take that first step, then I.
I know nature does the rest.
This collection of skills and just this way of moving through life is really important.
It carries a lot of the pieces that keep us human, that keep us content, that keep us mentally healthy.
We got to have a way to weave these pieces back into everyone's life, regardless of if they live on acreage or not.
So have you ever wondered about just kind of running away from a lot of the madness and the complexity and the pace and the grind and the hyper connectedness of, quote, modern life and finding a simpler, more ease filled option?
Or wonder what living a truly connected, grounded, meaningful life in this modern, high speed world really looks like?
Or how to buck convention and expectations and find true contentment outside of society's prescribed paths?
Well, my guest today, Jill Winger, did exactly that.
And her unplanned journey into the world of what she calls modern homesteading, it not only changed her life, it touched a nerve when she started sharing it and sparked a movement guiding thousands back to their roots.
