| 0:00.0 | Hey, pioneers. Welcome to episode number 448. Today's episode, we are talking about taming anxiety, |
| 0:15.1 | how to turn worry into purpose on your homestead. I know that right now, at the time of this recording here in the U.S., |
| 0:25.6 | we are moving into the elections for our next president. |
| 0:31.8 | And even aside from it being an election time, |
| 0:35.0 | there's high levels of anxiety and worry and some for very |
| 0:40.8 | real reasons. We went through as a country. Hurricane Helene came through, which was |
| 0:48.2 | absolutely horrific. But even without those natural disasters and I don't know if you call the election natural disaster, |
| 0:56.5 | we'll leave that where it is, excuse my humor, but there's always things that we can be worried |
| 1:02.0 | about and there's always things that can go wrong. However, homesteading offers us a peace of mind |

| 1:54.3 | And even if you're like, no, I am totally, which I hope is the case, I am totally coming at |
| 2:00.1 | homesteading in this lifestyle from a place |
| 2:03.2 | of peace. I think you will still find some very valuable tools inside today's interview and episode |
| 2:11.4 | that will help you do that even further and keep you on that path. So I'm really excited for today's guest. Today's guest is |
| 2:19.4 | Brittany Nelson. And Brittany is a longtime member of the Pioneering Today Academy, which is my membership. |
