Episode Details

How do you know if you are ancestral enough, and what really qualifies as "doing the thing"? Is there somebody out there with a list of ancestral things you need to be doing so you can "count" as being truly ancestral, or is it just a moving, non-linear line we are constantly progressing along with our intention and heart oriented the right way? It is this question, the always-haunting subject of imposter syndrome, and others that we are going to talk about today in this delightful interview with one of our podcast supporters and listeners, Jaycie, of Hazy River Homestead & Ranch in Idaho, USA.

Jaycie and Andrea both live off the grid with solar and generator power, and we had fun discussing some of the challenges that come with that lifestyle, as well as some of the benefits! You can see Jaycie's beautiful farm at www.hazyriverhomestead.com. This was a very early-morning call before the crack of dawn and it was a heart-warming, encouraging delight, so grab a hot beverage and let's settle in.
