Welcome to episode eleven of the Roots and Refuge Podcast. If you're new here, I'm so glad you're here. And if you've been with us for a while, I'm so glad you're here, too, thanks for coming back! Today I'm excited to welcome Jesse Bickley from Willow Brook Homestead to the Roots and Refuge Podcast. Come join us as we discuss what it's like to build a homestead from scratch, how to stay motivated (while not letting fear be the motivator), and knowing how to continue moving forward, one step at a time while remembering to run your OWN race.
