Hard Lessons, Real Food, and Letting Go of the Lazy Way: Shelby Gets Honest About Her Homesteading Journey

hard seasons grow good fruit

In this raw solo episode, Shelby shares an honest look behind the scenes of her own homesteading journey—one that hasn’t always been picture-perfect. From buying pigs without a plan to learning the hard way what true stewardship really looks like, this episode is full of wisdom for anyone who's ever tried to take the “easy way” and felt the sting of it later.

The slow shift away from processed food, and the surprising ways God used animals, hard seasons, and real food to bring her family back to the roots of intentional living. If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed, unsure, or like you’re failing at this whole “homemaker” thing—this one’s for you.

Topics Covered:

  • The dangers of shortcut culture and how it shows up in our food and lives

  • Why buying pigs was a turning point in Shelby’s mindset

  • Letting go of the idea that everything needs to be easy

  • The connection between self-sufficiency and surrender

  • Encouragement for the mama who feels like she’s “behind”
