Old Fashioned On Purpose

Lately, I’ve been thinking a lot about what old-fashioned living might look like for me in the coming year and beyond. I’ve been considering which skills and rhythms I want to embrace, and which ones I need to release.
In this podcast episode, I’m sharing that thought process with you. My hope is that it helps you take stock of your own life and figure out which parts of the old-fashioned lifestyle you truly love, and which parts you may be holding onto simply because you think you should.
Podcast Episode Highlights:
Current homesteading issues & how it affects us
Why 'all or nothing' is ridiculous
Tool vs. cage
Figuring out what drives you
Filter #1: does this skill give me agency?
Filter #2: does this skill give me peace or cost me peace?
Filter #3: is this a keystone skill?
Filter #4: what season am I in?
Filter #5: is this thing rooted in fear or love?
Motive #1: does this skill bring me joy?
Motive #2: does this feel obligatory?
Motive #3: are you doing this out of comparison?
The three buckets for figuring things out
Final thoughts

I’ve never really belonged. Not in the dramatic, “nobody understands me” way. More in the quiet, lifelong way—like I’ve always been standing half a step outside of whatever circle I’m supposed to slide into.
But I’ve finally realized something that would have shocked my younger self: Not belonging isn’t a problem. It’s an invitation. Listen in to my podcast episode to learn more about my thoughts on the magic of not belonging.
Podcast Episode Highlights:
My life journey with not belonging
My reactions & feelings about not belonging
Why we shouldn't tone ourselves down
Internal and external pressures
Why not belonging is a gift
Choose your own unpaved path
You're not alone
Shifting your mindset about belonging
