**Roots and Refuge Podcast**

Hey there, darling! My name is Jess. There was a time that all I wanted in the world was a little farm where I could raise my family and grow our food. Now, that’s exactly what exists outside my door. In watching it unfold, a new dream was formed in my heart – to share this beautiful life with others and teach them the lessons we’ve learned along the way. Welcome to the Roots and Refuge podcast, friend. I am so glad you’re here.

The Art of Hosting Well Jul 26, 2023

Show notes

Hey, y'all! Welcome to episode 30 of the Roots and Refuge Podcast.

In today's episode, Miah and I are discussing the art of hosting well. Beyond just the art of it, we're discussing why it's important, especially as homesteaders.

I'll be the first one to say that hosting isn't easy. It doesn't come naturally to me, and there are some times when I'd rather not and just curl up at home alone. But there are so many benefits of hosting, including building relationships and community.

We hope you enjoy today's episode and are encouraged to begin (or continue) hosting people yourself.

Let me share my "why" with you in hopes you find some encouragement along the way.

In today's episode, I'm chatting with Lisa from Homesteading and Hungry.

You'll love listening to my chat with Lisa as much as I loved our visit. She's one of a kind and doing a great thing in sharing her and her husband's journey as new homesteaders here in South Carolina.

So You Want to Be a Homesteader? Jun 07, 2023

Show notes

Hey, y'all! Welcome to episode 23 of the Roots and Refuge Podcast.

In today's episode, I'm talking about getting prepared to share at The Homestead Festival at Rory Feek's farm Hardison Mill. It never fails, every time I get prepared to go speak at one of these events, the "imposter system" creeps in. Because I know I'm probably not alone in this feeling, I'm sharing how I stop my mindset, refocus my heart, and realize that there's intention in how I'm living, how we're living, and that's huge! We're actively changing culture, and that's a victory.
