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.
