What do you do when your spouse or partner is not on board with your homesteading dreams? This is something I hear people struggling with all the time. One spouse is all into the idea of homesteading and the other has big reservations or is very against the idea.

Recently, I coach a member of my students through this very topic. I decided a podcast episode on this topic would be good for those dealing with the same thing.

I didn't poll any of my audience but I imagine some of the objections from the spouse that is not into the idea of homesteading might be concerned with:

The cost of starting a homestead
Giving up modern convenience
Fitting in as a homesteader.
Their kids will be deprived and sheltered
Family and friends will judge their lifestyle.
Added work to their already busy life.

If any of these objections resonate with you, I'd love to hear your thoughts. You can send me a direct message on Instagram. If I didn't list an objection send me that as well.
