← aLL podcast EPISOdes
What you’ll learn in this episode:
The importance of following your passion.
Why you shouldn’t allow others to tell you how to live your life.
How to live a life that feels aligned with who you are.
The importance of challenging your own beliefs.
How I outlined my tiny living lifestyle.
The challenges I faced when switching to a tiny life.
Have you ever felt trapped in a life that wasn't your own, consumed by others' dreams and expectations? Like many of us, I was influenced by societal narratives dictating what my life should look like. However, embarking on a journey of self-discovery led me to realize that conforming to those expectations was a trap that didn't align with my true desires. The solution came in the form of a tiny house, which not only addressed a problem but also created an entirely new and cherished life for myself and my partner. Today I share personal stories, starting with my own journey to tiny living, and explain the powerful notion of breaking free from societal expectations and discovering our true selves.
In this episode, I explain the challenges I faced during the transition to a tiny lifestyle and the profound importance of listening to our own voice, wants, needs, and values. Through personal anecdotes and reflections, we explore the liberating realization that we can break free from building someone else's dream and instead listen to our own inner calling. By looking inward and aligning our actions with our authentic selves, we can craft project plans that lead us to progress and the truest feelings of fulfillment.
