  • How tiny homes are good for the environment.

  • The hurdles Ash sees popping up in the future.

  • How Ash started her tiny living journey.

  • The importance of social connection.

  • Tiny living’s place for those wanting to save money.

Joining the show today is Ash Mazanec, a talented musician and singer from San Diego, California. She's not only making waves in the music scene, but also in the tiny living movement with a song dedicated to this unique community. In this episode, we explore Ash's journey into the world of tiny living, shedding light on the potential for a more sustainable and socially connected lifestyle.

Listen in to hear about Ash's personal transition into tiny living and the impact it had on her perspective. You will learn how the traditional single-family home has contributed to isolation and how the tiny home community can break this cycle, aligning with our innate need for social connection. We will also dive into the concept of saying "no" to the subpar and only saying "yes" to the things that we truly love or desire, a mindset that redirects our focus from material possessions to meaningful relationships.
