Are you ready for a story that will inspire you to chase your dreams, no matter where you are in life? Our latest episode of the Midlife Makeover show features an extraordinary guest, Jane Lee Rankin, who did just that. At 37, Jane’s life took an unexpected turn when she found out she was pregnant, her cancer was in remission, and she was surrounded by uncertainty. But instead of giving in to fear, Jane chose a path of bravery and independence.

With just a dream and her toddler in tow, Jane set out to Banner Elk, North Carolina—a place where she knew no one—to start an alpaca farm. This decision was not received well by everyone in her conservative hometown, but Jane was undeterred. She faced nature’s harshest tests, from severe weather to predator attacks, yet she never wavered. At Apple Hill Farm, Jane found freedom, dignity, and a deep connection with animals that changed her life.

Jane’s journey is not just about alpaca farming. It’s a tale of transformation and the power of a mother’s love. She became an advocate for farmers, sharing her knowledge on farm tourism and diversifying farm portfolios. In 2021, her efforts earned her the title of runner-up for North Carolina Small Farmer of the Year.

But how did Jane do it? How did she go from being a novice farmer to a celebrated author and speaker? In our interview, she shares the serendipitous moments that led her to where she is today. From meeting an alpaca at the Kentucky state fair to finding a mentor just a mile away from her new home, Jane’s story is filled with instances of fate and fortune aligning.

Her book, “Farm Family,” details her incredible experience and is a testament to her courage and tenacity. Jane’s advice to anyone standing at a crossroads in life is simple: listen to the whispers of your soul and take that first step. The journey might be daunting, but the rewards are immeasurable.

So, if you’re looking for a sign to embark on your own adventure, consider Jane’s story your beacon. Tune into this episode of the Midlife Makeover show and let Jane Lee Rankin’s unwavering spirit motivate you to take a leap of faith. Who knows? You might just find your own version of Apple Hill Farm waiting for you on the other side.
