What happens when you finally find yourself standing in the life you used to dream of?

Six years ago, we were in Machu Picchu talking about the kind of life we wanted to create. We talked about retreats, alignment, freedom, and who we wanted to become. At the time, those conversations felt like dreams. We had no idea what they would eventually look like.

Fast forward to today, and we’re sitting on our farm in Tennessee.

We left California, stepped away from a life that was familiar, and chose to build something that felt more aligned with where we were going. And the truth is, farm life has challenged us in ways we didn’t expect. It’s asked us to slow down, get our hands dirty, be patient, figure things out as we go, and trust each other through the parts that don’t always make sense.

But it’s also given us moments where we look at each other and think. How did we actually get here?

In this episode, we’re sharing a real update on our farm journey - from those conversations in Machu Picchu to leaving California and betting on ourselves. We’re also reflecting on the people who believed in us when these dreams were still just conversations, the risks we took to get here, and the way we’ve had to trust God’s timing along the way.

And maybe as you listen, you’ll start thinking about your own journey a little differently. Because sometimes the life you’re waiting for is already being built, one small, faithful step at a time.
