A Farmish Kind of Life

310: If You’re Gone… Then What?


Listen Later

As life gets busier, especially on a homestead, it’s easy to fall into the trap of taking on all responsibilities, believing that it’s more efficient. And sometimes it is. But this mindset can lead to significant issues when unforeseen events occur.

Today I’m tackling the weighty issue of being the one who does everything. The recent very unexpected passing of my father-in-law highlighted the challenges of carrying too much responsibility within a household. Today I’m talking about the importance of sharing tasks, teaching others, and recognizing the unseen burdens we often take on.

This episode will not only encourage you to consider the implications of doing it all alone, but I hope it will also make you think about the potential isolation that “doing it all” it can create. Let’s learn how to foster collaboration and ensure that everyone is equipped to step in when needed, because the truth is, you can’t be the system and the backup plan at the same time.

This episode is a heartfelt reminder that life is unpredictable, and we must prepare ourselves and our loved ones for the unexpected. By sharing the weight of responsibilities, we create a more resilient family and community. 

Don’t miss the main topic that starts at time stamp 5:50!
