Hey there, darlings welcome back to the Roots and Refuge Podcast. Today I'm sharing a slower, sweeter reflection on something that's been on my heart lately, the joy of growing your own food. With the busyness of spring, harvests starting to roll in, and everything asking for our attention, it's easy to rush past the wonder of it all. But I want to invite you to savor it. Whether you've grown one tomato or a whole pantry full of produce, there's joy to be found in every bite—if we choose to see it. Let's focus on being present, celebrating the small victories, and remembering why we started this life in the first place. If you've found encouragement here, consider supporting the podcast on Patreon, where you can listen early and join our monthly Q&A. As always, I bless you until next time.
Let's talk about how our fears evolve, how we adapt, and why it's okay if your biggest homesteading worry today is very different than what it used to be.
What happens when you choose to step away from mainstream expectations and reclaim your family's destiny? Mary Wainwright's journey from conventional life to intentional living offers a roadmap for those feeling trapped in industrial systems.Mary returns to share insights from her new book "Taking Back My Life," which chronicles her radical transformation across every aspect of family living. She takes us through the stark contrast between her traumatic hospital birth and her subsequent empowering home births, revealing how this experience catalyzed her entire lifestyle shift. Rather than presenting her choices as the "right way," Mary simply illuminates alternatives many families never consider.The conversation explores how modern society has systematically disconnected us from fundamental knowledge in just one or two generations. From growing food to understanding natural remedies, we've surrendered our self-sufficiency to systems that often prioritize profit over wellbeing. Mary shares practical steps anyone can take - starting a small garden, learning to make bone broth, or questioning medical interventions - that gradually build toward greater independence.Perhaps most powerful is Mary's reflection on community building. She describes creating a "tribe" where families barter skills, share resources, and collectively raise children. This interdependence makes sustainable living not just possible but deeply fulfilling, addressing the isolation that drove many women away from traditional roles decades ago.The conversation continually returns to fear as the controlling mechanism that keeps us compliant within industrial systems. By recognizing this pattern and making intentional choices about time, education, health, and community, Mary demonstrates how families can create lives aligned with their deepest values rather than external expectations. Her parting question resonates: "Are you living the life you want your children to replicate?"Ready to reclaim aspects of your family's life?

Hey there darlings, welcome back to the Roots and Refuge Podcast. Today's episode is one I recorded as much for myself as for you. It's a message I wish 22-year-old me could have heard—back when my dreams felt so big and my limits felt so loud. If you've ever felt overwhelmed by what you can't do, this episode is a gentle reminder that there's sacred strength in doing what you can. I'm talking about tending your life like a garden—not in panic, not in perfection, but in presence. Whether you're in a season of limitations, raising babies, or just navigating a world that feels a bit too urgent, you're not alone. There is wisdom in your limits. There is grace in your pace. And there is peace in choosing to be rooted right where you are. This conversation touches on preparation, presence, performance, and the quiet rebellion of slow living. Let it encourage you to stop striving, to tend with care, and to trust that what's within your reach is enough. If you've found encouragement here, consider supporting the podcast on Patreon, where you can listen early and join our monthly Q&A. As always, I bless you until next time.

Hey y'all, welcome back to the Roots and Refuge Podcast! Let's talk about preparedness, not the kind you see on sensational TV shows or fear-driven social media, but the kind that grows from peace, purpose, and love. In this episode I'm sharing my thoughts on what it really means to be rooted and ready in a world that feels increasingly uncertain. We're talking food security, skill-building, and heart-centered home readiness—not panic, not hoarding, but stewardship and hope. I've distanced myself from the word “prepper” for a long time because of what it's come to mean—but truthfully, I do believe in being prepared. Not with shelves full of stuff, but with dirt under your nails, knowledge in your heart, and the peace that comes from knowing you've stewarded well. Skills can't be bought—but they can be cultivated. Let's talk about how. Take a deep breath, friend. Let's grow steady together. If you've found encouragement here, consider supporting the podcast on Patreon, where you can listen early and join our monthly Q&A. As always—I bless you, until next time.

You've hit the milestones. The money's flowing. But deep down, something feels… off.This episode is for every woman who's checked all the boxes, only to find herself wondering, “Is this really it?” I sat down with Leah Rae Getts, who—alongside her husband—built a $200K/month business in network marketing and online courses… only to walk away from all of it.Why? Because success that isn't aligned with your purpose eventually becomes its own kind of burnout.Instead of staying stuck in the trap of “more,” Leah hit pause, got still, and decided to rebuild from the inside out.

Dreaming of a bougie homesteading lifestyle? Tune in to this week's Atlanta Real Estate Forum Radio podcast as host Carol Morgan chats with Jennifer and Rob Beecham of Folia Group about Sanctuaire Farms — a modern farmstead living community in Ball Ground, Georgia, offering 5- to 15-acre homesites designed for sustainable, regenerative living. A Modern Take on Homesteading Located in Cherokee County, Sanctuaire Farms features 54 homesites across 461 acres. Each home includes five to 15 acres of land, ready to be transformed with residents' agricultural visions. Natural, rolling hills and creek-front lots offer scenic views from your front door, while onsite agricultural amenities provide ample opportunities to engage with neighbors and connect as a family. Sanctuaire Farms is thoughtfully designed by Atlanta architect, Steven Kemp. Rob Beecham said, “We are conservationists and we are developing a sustainable, regenerative community that is very green-centered.” After the COVID-19 pandemic, the Beecham family purchased a 122-acre plot in Ball Ground and decided to start fresh. They quickly realized they didn't need as much land and subdivided the acreage into a five-track community with friends. The connectivity of this community inspired them to create a central farm where residents could learn farming techniques together and grow as individuals. “What we found is most people moved off the farm several generations ago, and we all lost all those skills, and it's much easier to learn them in a kind of corporate community environment,” said Rob Beecham. “From that experience, we envisioned a much larger adaptation of what we were doing on our farm, and that's how Sanctuaire Farms was kind of birthed.” Agrarian Learning at The Grange In addition to its homesites, Sanctuaire Farms also showcases a 50-acre store and agrarian learning center known as The Grange, where residents can learn helpful farming and gardening practices from professionals. Currently, the Grange includes a community garden, six Highland cows and two horses. At completion, residents will enjoy a fully functioning farm with a dairy and farmer's market. “What we tell people is, you don't have to do everything on your own farm,” said Rob Beecham. “You can do the things you're passionate about and then supplement the other things you don't necessarily need to do. You can supplement by participating in our community farm. It gives you the ability to be a part-time farmer if you want.” Jennifer Beecham will oversee community events at The Grange, such as dinners, social clubs and learning opportunities. “The unique thing is we'll be open to the public,” said Jennifer Beecham. “This is not just something for the community itself; it's also for the whole community and surrounding areas, and so that other people get to enjoy the Grange itself too.” A Focus on Sustainability Sanctuaire Farms is a fully regenerative community, from its produce and animal maintenance to the construction of homesites. Residents will be expected to utilize pesticide- and chemical-free practices and invest in organic farming techniques. "We've changed our complete lifestyle of how we eat, where we shop, and where we buy our food,” said Rob Beecham. “More and more people are coming on board to understand how important this is, and we see that playing a vital role in our community and people's lives.” Life at Sanctuaire Farms When pre-sales began a few months ago, homesites at Sanctuaire Farms went quickly. The Beechams estimate that 30 homes are already accounted for, proving that homebuyers are seeking this lifestyle. The development stage will begin shortly, with sales anticipated to start at the end of this year. “We've got people that are coming in and building smaller homes that are more focused on the farming side,” said Rob Beecham. “And we have a number of folks that have purchased multiple lots and plan on building much larger, kind of grander estates.

Far away in some strange constellation in skies infinitely remote, there is a small star, which astronomers may some day discover. At least I could never observe in the faces or demeanour of most astronomers or men of science any evidence that they had discovered it; though as a matter of fact they were walking about on it all the time. It is a star that brings forth out of itself very strange plants and very strange animals; and none stranger than the men of science. That at least is the way in which I should begin a history of the world if I had to follow the scientific custom of beginning with an account of the astronomical universe. I should try to see even this earth from the outside, not by the hackneyed insistence of its relative position to the sun, but by some imaginative effort to conceive its remote position for the dehumanised spectator. Only I do not believe in being dehumanised in order to study humanity. I do not believe in dwelling upon the distances that are supposed to dwarf the world; I think there is even something a trifle vulgar about this idea of trying to rebuke spirit by size. And as the first idea is not feasible, that of making the earth a strange planet so as to make it significant, I will not stoop to the other trick of making it a small planet in order to make it insignificant. I would rather insist that we do not even know that it is a planet at all, in the sense in which we know that it is a place; and a very extraordinary place too. That is the note which I wish to strike from the first, if not{20} in the astronomical, then in some more familiar fashion.One of my first journalistic adventures, or misadventures, concerned a comment on Grant Allen, who had written a book about the Evolution of the Idea of God. I happened to remark that it would be much more interesting if God wrote a book about the evolution of the idea of Grant Allen. And I remember that the editor objected to my remark on the ground that it was blasphemous; which naturally amused me not a little. For the joke of it was, of course, that it never occurred to him to notice the title of the book itself, which really was blasphemous; for it was, when translated into English, ‘I will show you how this nonsensical notion that there is a God grew up among men.' My remark was strictly pious and proper; confessing the divine purpose even in its most seemingly dark or meaningless manifestations. In that hour I learned many things, including the fact that there is something purely acoustic in much of that agnostic sort of reverence. The editor had not seen the point, because in the title of the book the long word came at the beginning and the short word at the end; whereas in my comment the short word came at the beginning and gave him a sort of shock. I have noticed that if you put a word like God into the same sentence with a word like dog, these abrupt and angular words affect people like pistol-shots. Whether you say that God made the dog or the dog made God does not seem to matter; that is only one of the sterile disputations of the too subtle theologians. But so long as you begin with a long word like evolution the rest will roll harmlessly past; very probably the editor had not read the whole of the title, for it is rather a long title and he was rather a busy man.

Hey y'all, welcome back to the Roots and Refuge Podcast! This week, I'm sharing some thoughts from a damp, full spring garden and continuing a theme we've been sitting with these last few weeks—living slow, present, and rooted in truth. In this episode, we're talking about balance—in nature, in our minds, and in the kind of lives we're building. I share a bit about learned helplessness and how the homesteading life helped me unlearn mine, not by fixing everything, but by giving me something real to put my hands to. We'll talk about fear, media, healing in the garden, and what it means to reclaim the driver's seat of your life… even when the road ahead feels uncertain. Thank you for spending time with me today. If you've found encouragement here, consider supporting the podcast on Patreon, where you can listen early and join our monthly Q&A. As always—I bless you, until next time.

After nearly a decade in medicine, Dr. Benson realized she was caught in an endless cycle of chasing approval and achievement—from being first in her medical school class to earning "best fellow" honors at Cleveland Clinic. She shares her four-year journey to break free from perfectionism and fear of rejection, which began with exploring creative pursuits while still practicing and culminated in paying off $250,000 in medical school debt before giving six months' notice to her practice. Dr. Benson discusses her post-medicine path, including becoming a professional artist with a unique beeswax technique, learning to play cello, embarking on an eight-month RV journey across America, and eventually settling in Floyd, Virginia to pursue homesteading. She also explains how her coaching practice evolved from project management to helping clients overcome "barrier beliefs," culminating in her "Brave is Beautiful Circle" program designed specifically for women physicians seeking authenticity and creativity.
