I’m thrilled to be chatting with another good friend on today’s podcast episode, Kate of Venison for Dinner. You all likely know her from her homesteading, cheesemaking, homemaking content, and in this conversation, we are answering some of your most common questions about making dairy products at home. Plus, we pull back the curtain on both of our content creation businesses and offer encouragement for those balancing motherhood and business (or hoping to!). Whether or not you are interested in making cheese or starting a business, I know you will be encouraged by this conversation between two moms seeking to love and serve our families in every season of motherhood!
In this episode, we cover:
What sparked Kate’s passion for raising her own food
Trying new things without succumbing to fear of failure
Fitting cheesemaking into daily life as a busy mom
Troubleshooting a few cheesemaking scenarios
How you can redeem a cheesemaking “fail”
Creative ways to use up an abundance of milk
Is it cost effective to make cheese with store bought milk?
Thoughts on starting an online business as a young mother
The reality of the early days of getting a business off the ground
Weighing your limitations and capacity in various seasons of motherhood
How to get things done when you have small kids in the home
Creating opportunities to rest and recharge as a mom
