Today I'm joined on the front porch virtually with DIYer Jessie Way or as many know her as The Good Wrench online and on social media. In addition to having a love of design and decor she is a wife, a mother, a dog mom, and an avid DIYer. Having grown up alongside her father who showed her how to build and create with her own two hands and a shop teacher who ignited a spark from within, Jessi hopes to inspire others to tackle projects in their own home. She frimly believes, "If you take care of your home, then your home will take care of you."

Connect with Jessi on her website, www.thegoodwrenchdiy.com, and on social media @thegoodwrench.

Listen in to the last part of this 3-part series, "Did you know your home was a part of the Underground Railroad." In celebration of International Underground Railroad month, I thought it would be an appropriate time to share about our 185-year-old-house and the rumor of our home helping slaves to reaching freedom.

There is more to be shared on the lives of those who came before us and how this small farming community played a role in the Underground Railroad. Today you'll learn about Rev. Thomas Craven, a staunch abolitionist, and how his connection to the Wehr family that will make you question what roll they played in the Underground Railroad!

I am sharing the history of our home as it is rumored to have been a stop on the Underground Railroad. It's because of this rumor I started researching our home four years ago and wouldn't you know I have uncovered what was once likely a secret of our entire town. 

Do you ever begin to feel a bit uninspired and need to shake things up a bit? Sometimes we have to find a way to ignite the candle from within ourselves but other times things come along and help us to it. Today I'm not only being transparent but a bit vulnerable about life in the middle as well as sharing what has sparked some excitement for the Homestead!

This week's topic on the podcast: "Navigating External Expectations and Societal Pressures."

Even as adults we are subjected to societal pressures to conform to what society tells us we should be and if we mold ourselves by what the world is putting out there, we're subjecting ourselves to losing ourselves and becoming less of who the world needs us to be-our own unique self.
