019: Tiny Home, Gigantic Life with Emily Gerde

The ins and outs of living in a tiny home with Emily Gerde.

“Before knowing anything about tiny houses, I walked around my 2,200 square-foot home and was like, ‘Wow, this room is completely empty besides, like, a chair. I have this space that I’m heating and cooling and I’m not even using it.”

Is it time to rethink the ‘bigger is better’ mentality?

This week’s guest says yes.

Emily Gerde is an author, tiny home dweller + advocate of the tiny home movement. HGTV featured her tiny home search; today; she and her family live comfortably in just 325 square feet.

On this episode, we:

– Identify the crucial differences between mobile homes + tiny homes,

– Discuss 4 HUGE benefits to smaller living, and

– Get into the meat + potatoes about what exactly Emily’s family has gained by consciously living with less

Thinking about going tiny? You’re in luck, because Emily also shares her must-haves when designing a sustainable, functional + spacious tiny home.
