Roots and Refuge Podcast Jessica Sowards

Hey, y'all! Join me for episode 46 of the Roots and Refuge Podcast.  
In today’s episode I’m sharing the importance of the balance of rest. Living on a homestead and living this lifestyle can wear you out, quick! Especially if you’re not being conscious of how hard you’re working, as well as how intentional you are about rest. 
Learn to take care of yourself instead of your body forcing you to do so (like I had to learn from).

Hey, y'all! Join me for episode 45 of the Roots and Refuge Podcast. 
It’s official, the frost has come, and the summer is finally gone. For many people, this is a time of year that brings with it seasonal depression. In my life, I’ve experienced deeper levels of SAD (Seasonal Affective Disorder), however, I’ve found ways to embrace these slower months and cultivate cozy. 
There’s a concept that comes from the Danish culture called Hygge. It’s defined as “a quality of coziness and comfortable conviviality that engenders a feeling of contentment or well-being (regarded as a defining characteristic of Danish culture).”
In this episode, I’m sharing some of the tips I’ve used over the years to help cultivate cozy and get through the dark, sunless winter months.

Hey, y'all! Join me for episode 43 of the Roots and Refuge Podcast. 
Though I generally focus on sharing all things homesteading, food growing, gardening, raising animals, as well as using food (enjoying it, preserving it and sharing it), today's podcast is largely about the mindful relationship with the earth and each other.
The theme of anything that I do... at least I hope, is to be mindful. To make conscious choices in consumption, interaction and engagement.
I don't want to waste my one and only life, and that's what I hope to share today.

This life can be a journey that's both exhilarating and frustrating. We want to learn all the new things and go to the deepest depths possible (but it always goes deeper), all the while never forgetting just how far we've come and being proud of the changes we've made over the days, months and years.
I hope this podcast can be an encouragement to you to continue on, keep pushing forward, but always remembering where you've come from.
