Making the leap from a corporate environment to a more rural, agrarian lifestyle can be both exhilarating and daunting. Many individuals dream of trading in their suits for overalls, but the transition requires careful planning and consideration.

Understanding Your Current Situation
Before diving into the logistics of your transition, it is important to determine if this lifstyle choice works for you...
For me I was only able to pursue what I do because of telehealth and remote work options.
I can meet with my entire class, interview poeple, supervise my associates and walk out to the front porch to sit and drink a coffee within 10 seconds of finishing my day.
However, this is something I have protected and worked at creating based of the current climate of technology being readily available and my lifestyle choices aligning with this.
The drawbacks are: I don't reside within 5 minutes of fast food, I lack same-day delivery services for Amazon, and my gas bill for my vehicles is significantly higher than the average person's.
However, I prefer this lifestyle over those conveniences, and I've realized it's my priority to make that trade-off.
My perspective is to first determine your values and when your decision makign aligns with those values, peacefulness will ensue.
