    Monthly Life Update: Church Fire, Farm Prep, and Finding Better Work Rhythms (Ep.6)
    2026/03/05

    Samantha “Sam” Welch shares a February life update from her family’s 40-acre farm in north central Arkansas, describing the month as difficult and busy. The biggest event was their church building burning down, which also destroyed her friends’ wedding-venue business, prompting the church to meet in a member’s home and leaving Sam navigating support, PTSD from a past house fire, and a work transition away from photographing weddings at the venue toward farm sessions and growing her podcasts. On the farm, they began using a high tunnel, prepped beds, and planted cold-hardy crops (carrots, peas, radishes, kale, turnips, collards), did orchard pruning, sprayed with lime sulfur, lime-washed trunks, and planted new apple and plum trees. She reflects on using AI and daily notes to identify “good tired” day elements: early meaningful work, outdoor movement, unstructured family time, and adult community. She also notes listening to more music—Appalachian and Ozark folk—alongside homeschool orchestra studies.

  • We Celebrated Buying Cheese: My Story of Humble Beginnings (And Why I’m Grateful for Them) (Ep.5)

    We Celebrated Buying Cheese: My Story of Humble Beginnings (And Why I’m Grateful for Them) (Ep.5)
    2026/02/19
    In this episode, I’m sharing a part of my story that still humbles me every time I think about it.I left my dad’s house with almost nothing — maybe an eighth-grade education, no work experience, no driver’s license, and no real idea of how the world worked. I got my GED and took my first job in a commercial chicken laying house, where I learned what it meant to work hard and earn my own money. Later, Justin and I were married with two babies in two years, living in a two-room cabin on an unpredictable sawmill income — and I remember the day we celebrated being able to afford cheese.That season shaped me.I share how I got my first camera through a half-and-half deal, taught myself photography through YouTube, and started “Welch Photographic Art” with thrift store frames and big dreams. I talk honestly about postpartum depression, imposter syndrome, standing at an art walk without selling a single piece, and praying through my first $200 wedding because I barely knew what I was doing.The heart of this episode is simple: humble beginnings and slow growth are not punishment — they are preparation.I wrestled with God in the slow seasons. I obsessed over growth. I questioned whether I should even keep going. But looking back, I can see clearly that if I had grown fast, I would not have been able to handle it. God grew my capacity before He grew my business.Today my work looks very different. I shoot weddings at one venue owned by close friends. I only take sessions on my farm. I control my schedule. I make a steady income. And every bit of it feels different because I remember where I started.If you’re in a beginning season right now — building a business, homeschooling while running a small business, managing time as a stay-at-home mom, or just trying to build a life from home that feels meaningful — I want this episode to steady you.In this episode, I talk about:Leaving home with nothing and learning independence the hard wayWhat working in a chicken house taught me about gratitudeEarly marriage, tight finances, and celebrating small winsStarting a photography business with almost no skill or confidenceBattling imposter syndrome and postpartum depressionWhy slow growth builds deep rootsHow stewarding what you have prepares you for moreBuilding a sustainable business that supports family and landThis conversation is about gentle productivity for real life. It’s about faith-based rhythms for home and work. It’s about building a legacy through daily faithfulness instead of chasing fast results.If this episode encouraged you, the best way you can support the podcast is to follow the show and leave a review. And if you know someone in her small beginnings right now, share it with her.Slow growth is good growth.00:00 Humble Beginnings: Why Starting With Nothing Is a Gift00:39 First Job Reality Check: Working in a Chicken Laying House02:38 New Marriage, Two Kids, and Bare-Bones Finances (Yes, Celebrating Cheese)03:45 Getting a Camera on a Shoestring & Learning on YouTube05:02 Welch Photographic Art: First ‘Business’ Attempts and Imposter Syndrome07:20 First People Shoots: Engagement Session to a $200 Wedding08:18 The Lesson: Humble Beginnings Are Preparation, Not Punishment10:01 Slow Seasons & Stewardship: Serving Well Before You Grow11:52 What Growth Looks Like Now: Selective Clients, One Venue, and Balance14:03 Final Encouragement: Don’t Despise Slow Growth + Closing & Where to FollowFollow along for more:TikTokwww.tiktok.com/@woc_samanthawelchInstagram www.instagram.com/woc_samanthawelchYouTubewww.youtube.com/@woc_samanthawelch This is a public episode.
