Whether you're staring at empty patches in your garden or waiting for your ferments to finish bubbling, this lifestyle is full of waiting. And in a culture that celebrates overnight success and 30-second videos, that can feel extra hard.

But what if the waiting is actually part of the growth?

In this episode, I'm sharing:

Why waiting is one of the hardest parts of homesteading

How impatience has shown up for me lately (spoiler: I’ve replanted seeds way too early)

Real-life encouragement for those of us in the messy middle of any project

Simple things you can do while you wait that actually move you forward

Why slow success is more satisfying—and sustainable—than quick wins

“Adopt the pace of nature: her secret is patience.” — Ralph Waldo Emerson

Whether you're waiting on seeds, sourdough, or just a quieter season in life—this one’s for you.
