80. Truth: The Perfect Homestead Life Doesn't Exist - Are You Letting Perfectionism Hold You Back from Your Homesteading Goals?

from The Farm Family Table⏐Homesteading, Homemaking, Christian Mom · host Jocelyn Jennings

Have you ever found yourself stuck because you’re putting some of your homestead goals on hold for the perfect time, the perfect setup, or to be the perfect mom? Today we’re talking about something that I think a lot of us wrestle with, especially when we are  trying to juggle family, homesteading, and everything in between. That is perfectionism. If you've ever said, “I’ll start once I have the right tools,” or “I just need to learn more before I try,” this is the episode for you. Waiting for ideal conditions can rob us of the progress, joy, and confidence that come with just starting where we are. Because the truth is, you don’t need to do it all, know it all, or have it all figured out before you begin. In this episode, I cover 4 ways that perfectionism shows up in homesteading and how you can overcome it if you find yourself struggling in this area.  You don’t need the perfect tools. You don’t need to know everything. You just need to take the next small step. Start the thing. Learn as you go. And give yourself grace along the way. I hope this episode encourages you today.
