“Sometimes the most powerful conversations aren’t about success — they’re about what it costs to grow.” In today’s episode, I sit down with Matthew Gauger, founder of Greenhorn Grove, a homesteader, husband, and father who’s learning to build a life from the soil up — both literally and emotionally. Matthew opens up about his journey into homesteading, the hard lessons of self-reliance, and what it really means to live in alignment with your values. But this conversation also goes deeper — into the struggles within his marriage, the pressures of providing, and the courage it takes to face what’s not working while still choosing growth. This isn’t just a story about farming — it’s a story about faith, honesty, and rebuilding. It’s about what happens when the image of a perfect life gives way to something far more authentic. So settle in. This one’s vulnerable, grounded, and full of heart — a real look at what it means to build something that lasts.
