I hear from many of you who have a dream of living a homestead lifestyle on your own property out in the country. Natalie and her family had a similar dream, and they were determined to do it without taking on a mortgage. Rather than opting for an RV or tiny home, they turned a shed into the cottage of their dreams. Natalie joins me in this episode to share about the process, answer frequently asked questions, and talk through their long-term vision. I hope Natalie’s story inspires your creativity and resourcefulness as you work toward your own dreams!
