The Southwest has been showing up in our conversations a lot lately. The space, the scenery, the feeling of possibility. This week, Jeremy and I talk about why this region feels like the right direction for us to explore and how this upcoming road trip fits into our bigger journey of rebuilding, reconnecting, and finding our next chapter. It’s equal parts heart, humor, and highway miles as Making My Way South heads toward new horizons.

Someone officially joins the show and naturally, he kicks things off in true Making My Way South fashion. In this light-hearted episode, we talk about what it’s like adding a co-host, why Utah has been calling our names, and what we’re both looking for in a new place to call home. From trading Illinois winters for red-rock sunsets to debating if either of us could actually survive desert heat, it’s an easygoing, funny start to this next chapter of the journey.

Excuse my absence! Are you ready for big update from Making My Way South? Tune in and hear what the new plan is! We might be having a guest host soon!

In this episode of Making My Way South, Jeremy takes listeners along on his trip to western Kentucky.

Sometimes the road to your dream doesn’t look “normal.” In this episode, Jeremy opens up about his decision to live in a camper as a stepping stone toward financial stability and his dream farm in Kentucky. A story of sacrifice, courage, and choosing your own path.

Starting over isn’t easy, but sometimes it’s necessary. In this episode, Jeremy shares the raw truth about leaving behind heartbreak, regret, and financial strain in Illinois as he takes his first steps toward a new chapter in Kentucky. This isn’t about escape, it’s about courage, simplicity, and chasing the life he’s always dreamed of.
