This month I am chatting with homesteading and self-sufficient legend Valarie Person. We discuss her journey starting as a child helping her mum in the garden through to her 20 year sojourn to the USA and life with the Amish folk then the founding of her company Green Living Australia and its astonishing growth over the past 10 years.

Here we discuss our first form of capital for the year, Emotional and Spiritual Capital. This is the most important but least obtained or understood form of capital. We talk about the "mental narratives" that form patterns in how we think about and respond to the world around us. We also talk about finding your "why" and your "values" and a group of like-minded people to go on the homesteading journey with.
