We’re kicking off year two of the podcast in a brand-new space—our forever home!

In this episode, I’m curled up in my cozy new living room, surrounded by my favorite Facebook Marketplace finds (yes, including the green velvet couch) and reflecting on this long-awaited transition. I’m sharing the story behind our move, a few thrifting adventures, and my thoughts on embracing a slower, more intentional winter season. Grab a cup of tea, settle in, and let’s chat about fresh starts, home, and embracing the beauty of a slow season—choosing rest over hustle.

In this episode of Homegrown Hopes, we sit down with Meagan Joy—a third-generation beekeeper and rancher, whose life is deeply rooted in family, farming, and faith.

Meagan shares her story of growing up on a ranch learning timeless lessons she learned from both her father and her grandfather’s humble approach to beekeeping, and how her family is keeping tradition alive through their farm.

From harvesting raw, unfiltered honey to raising premium Texas Wagyu beef, Meagan talks about balancing heritage with modern challenges and fostering community through intentional living.

Do you have boxes of old photographs or random image files on your computer that you'll get to "someday"? If so, you definitely want to listen to my chat with Shanna of GingerSnaps Photo Management! She is a busy mom herself, so she understands just how daunting this task can be. In this episode, she discusses ways to get organized, her favorite products and software, and tips for preventing yourself from getting in over your head again. If it still feels like too much for you to tackle, she can do it for you!

As the heart behind GingerSnaps, Shanna is passionate about helping people organize, preserve, and enjoy their memories. She lives in Ontario, Canada on a farm with her husband and two sons and has a love for capturing everyday moments.
