S14 E17: How to Tap Into Your Heritage for a More Beautiful Life Artwork

Old Fashioned On Purpose

Have you felt it? Something is rippling through humanity at this moment. It's a stirring... a longing... a remembering. A sense that we are more capable than we’ve been led to believe. We want to feel alive, not sedated.. but we've lost our way. We've traded a life intertwined with nature for asphalt and artificial lights. We've swapped natural movement for a sedentary existence. We've given up food from the earth in favor of food from the factory. We've sacrificed our traditional skillsets for apps and gadgets. But while our overdose on modernity may have made us sick, there is an antidote. Join best-selling author and mentor, Jill Winger, each week as she digs into a different facet of the old-fashioned on purpose lifestyle.

S14 E17: How to Tap Into Your Heritage for a More Beautiful Life

April 29, 2024 • Jill Winger • Season 14 • Episode 17

We talk a lot about returning to our roots and reclaiming heritage skills... but what role does your family heritage REALLY play in your homesteading efforts? How can you lean on it for motivation during the stressful times? And what do you do if you DON'T have a rich heritage to draw from?

Today's guest, Dolores Taranto, speaks more beautifully to these topics than anyone else I've come across. This conversation left me feeling so inspired and I know it will leave you feeling the same!
