Growing up, Heather Kitching was enamored with rural life. She dreamed of living in the countryside, riding horses, wearing cowboy boots, and listening to country music.

But when she got a little older, she learned something about herself that threw a wrench into that dream. She realized that if she was going to be her true self, she'd need to leave behind the place she loved.

On this episode, she shares her story. It's a story that first ran a few years ago, but it's just as good now as it was then.
