S3 E3: Seed Shortages & Basement Seedlings... Feb 01, 2021

Show notes

With the events of the past year, there have been certain items that have become even more essential for everyday life. While things like toilet paper and hand sanitizer flew off the shelves, one unforeseen item sold out quicker than expected. Due to both higher demand and restrictions on production, seeds have been selling out way ahead of schedule. In today's episode, we dig into the process of planning, purchasing, and preparing your seeds for use in your garden. Learn the process of sprouting your seeds and why your garden zone influences everything, including both when and what you can plant. I also share how I've been able to save thousands of dollars over the year simply by starting my own plants in my basement. No matter your level of expertise, there is sure to be something for you in this jam-packed episode!

S3 E1: The Victory Garden is BACK Jan 25, 2021

Show notes

Welcome back, my friends! I can't begin to express how excited I am for what we're tackling in season three of the Old Fashioned on Purpose podcast. This past year was wild, to say the least. I don't know about you, but I certainly never could've imagined that food shortage could be a topic of conversation in 2020. Because of this, I'm dedicating this season to something that needs to be revived in this country: The Victory Garden. For those of you who've had a desire to start a garden of your own and didn't know where to start, then this season is specifically for you! Follow along as I dig into the process of planning and planting my own Victory Garden as we take another step toward using our homestead to offer support within the community.

Show notes

It's hard to believe it, but we've already reached the end of the "first" season. As we bring this season to a close, it's time to turn an eye to the future. In today's episode, I go over some of the plans (both big and small) that Christian and I have been discussing for quite some time. I'm really thrilled to share some of this with you as we're developing new businesses and shifting some of our focus to giving back to the community. Last but not least, get a sneak preview of what's to come in the next season of the Old Fashioned on Purpose podcast.

S2 E9: Why the Heck Am I Doing This?? Jan 04, 2021

Show notes

Clarity is everything. In any area of life, gaining clarity on your goals and your vision is critical for success. This fact became even more apparent in my own life when it came time to write my cookbook. The entire process of writing my cookbook forced me to question everything about what I was currently doing in my life and where I wanted to go in the future. In the end, I came out with a book and a completely clear and focused vision for my future. Listen today to find out how you can find this clarity in aspects of your own life and how it can open the door to unexpected opportunities.

S2 E8: Building a Parachute on the Way Down Dec 31, 2020

Show notes

While I'm a major advocate for setting goals and making plans to achieve them, sometimes there comes a time when you just have to jump. The truth is, if you're waiting for the perfect time to do something it's never going to come. As you've learned in my own story up to this point, I don't know if I've ever been "ready" to do much of anything in my life. Most of what I've done has simply been accomplished by following a passion and letting it guide me to where I need to be. On today's e[isode, find out why just going for it is always the best road to take and how you can gain the confidence to take a leap.

S2 E7: Never Say Never... Dec 28, 2020

Show notes

For as long as I can remember, network marketing was almost an evil phrase in my vocabulary. I held these limiting beliefs about network marketing that no one actually succeeded with it and they mainly just tread water. Thankfully, the reality was far different than my misguided expectations. In today's episode, I dig into why network marketing not only gave me freedom and transformed my career but also changed my life. Listen to discover why you might have limiting beliefs in your own life and what you can start doing to eliminate them.

S2 E6: The Messy, Mundane Middle Dec 24, 2020

Show notes

Beginnings are always fun. For most of us, the start of a story is always the most relatable. It defines the "humble beginnings" that most successful people have to overcome. The end is always great because finally, you've realized the merits of your hard work. It's the middle that no one really talks about. I'm talking about the grey area that occurs between the start and the end. It's the part where people think you're an "overnight success" because they don't see you putting in the day-to-day work. In today's episode, I start digging into the meat of what has really made Christian over the years. Learn how to start integrating small, daily steps to help you achieve your long-term goals.

S2 E5: Birthing Babies & Blogs Dec 21, 2020

Show notes

Creation can come in all forms. For us, it seems they all happened at the same time. With animals giving birth on the homestead, me getting pregnant with our first daughter, and a new blog on the horizon, my attention was pulled in several different directions. Looking back now, while it was a hectic time it was one of the greatest periods of growth in my life. After all, the extra time I spent at home following my pregnancy is what ultimately inspired the blog. As they say, the rest is history. Listen today to find out how I was able to thrive during this busy time, and how you can do the same in your own life.

S2 E4: The Impulse Buy of a Lifetime Dec 17, 2020

Show notes

My friends, we have arrived at my favorite portion of the entire story. Many people told Christian and I that our dreams were crazy. Looking back on it now, I can understand why some would have felt that way at the time. However, when we first bought our homestead there was no doubt in our minds that it was the right thing to do. We knew from the beginning that it was the vision we had for our lives and no matter what happened nothing was going to stop us from getting there. Listen today to hear why listening to your gut is always the best way to go and how doing so has landed Christian and I where we're at today.
