Ep 119. Progress Over Perfection: A Realistic Approach to Homesteading

Ever feel stuck trying to make your homestead perfect? I've been there! In today's episode, I'm sharing personal stories and practical tips about why embracing progress over perfection can transform your homesteading journey from stressful to joyful.

In this episode, you'll hear:

• Why "done" truly is better than "perfect," and how simple tasks (like assembling shelves!) can illustrate this mindset.

• How perfectionism often disguises itself as endless research, leading to burnout or inaction.

• Real-life examples of how imperfect actions, from gardening to cooking, yield meaningful growth and satisfaction.

• Encouragement to embrace the "homemade-ish" approach and why every step forward counts, no matter how small.

Mentioned in this episode:

• The Homestead Collective – Join our monthly membership for support, resources, and practical ways to incorporate homesteading skills into your busy life.

• The Homestead Challenge Facebook Group – Share your imperfect (and joyful!) homesteading progress with our supportive community.

Remember, your family doesn't need perfection—they just need you to show up. So let's embrace the imperfections and enjoy the journey!

Share your imperfect homesteading wins with us! We’d love to see your progress in the Facebook group.
