Join in on my conversation with the author of Radical Homemakers and Redefining Rich as she breaks down the meaning of “homemaker” in ways you’ve never thought of.
In this podcast episode, Shannon and I talk about how a true homemaker learns skills so she is free to live by the principles that are most important to her, all the while working through the important steps of renouncing, reclaiming, and rebuilding, and figuring out what these steps look like for her.
Shannon and I talk about what it looks like to grapple with the macro issues and the micro issues, and in all that chaotic imperfection, to find happiness and redefine “wealth.”
