Today my dear friend Kylie Epperson and I ask ourselves the question: whose expectations are you living into? We dive into her story of pivoting from working full-time off the farm, to then back to the farm, to then off the farm again and how that has affected her identity of herself and her personal growth.
Kylie Epperson is a farm wife, mom to three, Missouri House of Colour consultant, and agriculture advocate and speaker.
She helps rural women find power in themselves, connection in community, and confidence through color and style. Online, Kylie shares the relatable ins and outs of motherhood and farming whilst staying grounded in gratitude and humor.
Kylie loves helping women build confidence, camping with her family, the hottest coffee on earth, exercising for her sanity and a good, bold lipstick.
In this episode about whose expectations are you living into, we cover:
- Combating expectations that we place on ourselves and that we feel from others
- Rediscovering ourselves in motherhood
- Awareness and confidence of who you are in each season of life and each season on the farm
- The importance of asking for help
- Giving ourselves permission to change our mind
