After 14 years of military service, I’m finally doing what many dream of—building our own homestead in Texas. On 10 acres of land filled with mesquite and cactus, we're creating a slower, freer life on our terms.

Military life taught me stability, but building a homestead, as a First Gen Latina had some challenges. In this episode I share my decision to build a manufactured home instead of a barndominium and the costs that go along with it.

From deciding to leave the military after post-COVID-19 mindset shift, to buying 10 acres of land without ever seeing it in person, to figuring out how to pay for it, it was a journey with many ups and downs.
