074: How to Live Large by Living with Less

Have a big bucket list but a small-ish bank account? Do you dream in color but get snagged on the details? Many of us aspire to get living, but the minutiae of planning forces us to stand still. Here's *exactly how* to live your best life, especially if your best life varies from the norm.


Have a big bucket list but a small-ish bank account?

Do you dream in color but get snagged on the details? Feel held back by your children?

Many of us aspire to get living, but the minutiae of planning forces us to stand still. That’s why it’s easier to remain stagnant in a life that may (or may not!) light us up.

This week’s guests have mastered the art of intentional living. Despite dubious finances + countless obstacles, Erik + Emily Orton packed up their 5 children, moved onto a sailboat + lived out their wildest dreams. Then they wrote a book about it.

Erik + Emily are on the podcast to inspire you to live your best life, especially if your best life varies from the norm. I ask them how, exactly, they customized their lives to make room for their dreams; they divulge what they’ve learned by living off the grid + why they’d encourage others to do the same, too.

The New York Times named Seven at Sea as a top travel read for summer 2019; even better, Erik + Emily generously brought along a free hardcover copy for one lucky listener.

The Power of Place

In a world obsessed with consumption, we may try to buy our way into a sense of belonging. But a true feeling of “home” isn’t found in the latest trends or newest decor. It’s actually built by aligning our spaces with our deepest, core needs.

The link between our environment and our well-being goes far beyond aesthetics. On today’s show, author Leidy Klotz offers research-backed strategies for designing spaces that move beyond what’s “on-trend” and instead meet our core human needs of agency, growth, and connection.
