What It Means To Choose Joy In Your Life With Guest Rachel Stallard.

In this episode I am joined by my friend Rachel Stallard. Her husband and her bought 35 acres outside of Cleveland. They wanted to raise their children on a property with a pond. One day they decided to restore the chicken coop on the land then it spiraled into other animals, a garden, now it is sustainable for their family and a hobby farm.  Rachel takes us through a morning in her life with a full time job and raising her 3 kids.  Also in this episode we talk about how we met at a bar in mid/late 20's, became friends, roommates and growth in our friendship and our lives to where we are now. Looking at ways to keep trying new things. Just because we are moms doesn't mean we don't want to give up on things we love and are passionate about. It's important for our kids to see we are trying and failing so they can appreciate things when they get older. Rachel wrote a blog when she turned 40 about what she wanted to tell 20 something year olds. She talks about things we wish we knew when we were younger that it won't matter. You are not in control of your life. Have those people around that feed you and support you.  It is so important as women and moms we still nurture ourselves and fill our bucket up.  Rachel is mother, wife, farmer and professional writer, Rachel helps digital marketing clients bring their stories to life. But her real bosses are her three young children and the 40+ animals she and her husband are raising on their hobby farm just outside of Cleveland, Ohio. She also rehabs homes in her community for the rental market. Rachel believes that everyone and everything has a unique story just waiting to be told.
