Old Fashioned On Purpose: Daily Summaries Delivered
by Jill Winger
Have you felt it? Something is rippling through humanity at this moment. It's a stirring... a longing... a remembering. A sense that we are more capable than we’ve been led to believe. We want to feel alive, not sedated.. but we've lost our way. We've traded a life intertwined with nature for asphalt and artificial lights. We've swapped natural movement for a sedentary existence. We've given up food from the earth in favor of food from the factory. We've sacrificed our traditional skillsets for apps and gadgets. But while our overdose on modernity may have made us sick, there is an antidote. Join best-selling author and mentor, Jill Winger, each week as she digs into a different facet of the old-fashioned on purpose lifestyle.

S18: E16: When Good Identities Become Cages (and how to break free)
Today, I’m exploring the power of identity and how it shapes us, anchors us, and sometimes quietly begins to confine us. Even the identities that are good and meaningful can become cages when we cling to them too tightly or start to outgrow the version of ourselves they were built around. In this episode, I unpack how to recognize when an identity is supporting you versus trapping you, the questions worth asking when everything starts to feel different, and the very real grief that can come w...

S18: E13: How I'm Cooking These Days
In this podcast episode, I’m sharing details on how I’m cooking these days. I'll explain why rigid recipes and traditional meal plans just don’t work well for our full, ever-changing family life. We’ll talk about the strategies and principles I lean on instead, including how to make peace with a more flexible approach to food, and why giving yourself permission to experiment can be so freeing. I’m also diving into the art of using leftovers creatively, wasting less, and building meals from what you already have on hand.

S18: E11: What I've Learned from Running a Business in a Town of 175
After reviving the oldest operating soda fountain in the state of Wyoming, I can tell you firsthand that there is something deeply meaningful about bringing an old place back to life. Yet, like most things we romanticize from a distance, it’s usually a whole lot less romantic up close. Since buying the soda fountain five years ago, I’ve had a lot of people ask about following in my footsteps. So in this podcast episode, I pulled together a few of the lessons that I feel are the most important when it comes to running a small-town business. Here we go. Podcast Episode Highlights: The element of risk in running a small town business Lesson #1: Solve a problem Lesson #2: Respect the history—but also listen to your gut Lesson #3: Diversify. Or else. Lesson #4: Don't forget to market to out-of-towners Lesson #5: Create an experience Lesson #6: Lean into your liabilities Lesson #7: Don’t listen to your customers too much Final thoughts Resources Mentioned in This Podcast Episode: Find my Old-Fashioned on Purpose planner here: https://www.prairieplanner.com/ Learn more about Chugwater Soda Fountain events here: https://www.chugwatersodafountain.com/ OTHER HELPFUL RESOURCES FOR YOUR HOMESTEAD: Sign up for weekly musings from my homestead: https://jillwinger.substack.com/ Get my free homesteading tutorials & recipes here: www.theprairiehomestead.com Jill on Instagram: @jill.winger Jill on Facebook: http://facebook.com/theprairiehomestead Apply to be a guest on the Old-Fashioned on Purpose podcast: https://www.theprairiehomestead.com/podcast-guest-application Did you enjoy listening to this episode?
