Why I Traded Being A Touring Songwriter for Homesteading and Motherhood
Hey everyone, it's Aileeah Colgan! 🌻 In today's video, I'm sharing a deeply personal story about my journey from being a touring songwriter and performer to becoming a stay-at-home mom and holistic homesteader. Leaving the stage and the spotlight was one of the hardest decisions I've ever made, but it was also one of the most rewarding.
In this video, I'll take you through the ups and downs of this transition, from the bustling life on tour to the serene, fulfilling life on the homestead. I'll share why I made this choice, how it has impacted my family, and the joys and challenges of embracing a more grounded, intentional lifestyle.
Whether you're a fellow musician, a parent, or someone interested in homesteading, I hope my story resonates with you and inspires you, challenges you! 🌿✨

    Everything is good EXCEPT...if you have pets, essential oils are very toxic for them. No matter which ones. So we're doing the laundry & the pups & kitties lay on our blankets, clothes, etc. Best to omit any/all fragrance-producing oils. The other thing...traditional washing soda is also toxic--it is a chemical that can be a bad skin irritant.

    So I’m just your random mom and grandmother out here eating up home birthing videos here on UA-cam , and that’s how I found you. Your birth video is one of the best I’ve ever seen, and I have 5 of my own (all married, 16 grandkids!). You showed a rare amount of strength and fortitude there, and that’s how I ended up here watching this video. It’s really cool to see how the Lord has nudged you along to get to the point where you are today. Me and my whole family kept the same strong beliefs as you through ‘20-‘21, but we lost mom from “c”. However she said the whole time “if c is my ticket home, so be it!” She called their own shots, she chose it, and right this moment, at 12:30am 8/3, marks 3 years since mom passed. I am just now starting to work through the immense grief with a professional counselor. I praise the Lord for His clear hand of protection and for the clarity He’s shown to all of us as a family. I just wanted to stop by and thank you for sharing your sweet life, your husband, your baby, and for being willing to speak openly on why you are where you are today. I’ll be here for any uploads! Much love, from Orting, WA.❤️

    Hi Aileeah. Thank you for making this video. Hearing your story of why you stopped touring and where you are now is really inspiring to me and so many others. I'm 19 and sick and tired of the feminist propaganda being shoved in my face and now hearing your side of the story puts a huge smile on my face. Hearing based views from a woman now at days if really uplifting so this video really hit the spot. The path you're leading now is paved with open land and blue skies, a beautiful future. It's a path I hope to go down to soon and you're one of the positive feminine views I seek inspiration from. Thank you again for making this video. Sincerely, Ripley

But he LOVES telling everyone he caught the baby head when i can clearly see the baby fall on the floor on film! I recorded the birth! Homebirth #2 is coming up soon and i have accepted that he will be USELESS and i will probably give birth in my car, in the middle of the woods than be in the house with him yelling at me to be quiet

    I don't care too much about bizarre and hilariously named chemical compounds in my detergent since I'm not eating my clothes, I'm just sick of being financially squeezed and robbed. I'm finding that most things you use in your household can be made at home pretty easily. I've got a big 5 gallon bucket of liquid detergent cooling right now. It's pretty runny atm but I seem to have had some luck with a small amount of corn starch as a thickener. Also we are rentoids so I don't care if it damages the machine lol
