I spent 20 years working in oil and gas. Long stretches away from home, weeks in a suitcase. A 2000 square foot house with all the things you're told to want — and a life that never once felt like mine.
Then one night, my husband and I asked ourselves the question we'd been too scared to say out loud: What if we stopped chasing the life we're supposed to want and started building the one we actually do?
We got rid of the house. Moved into a 600 sq ft cabin in rural Alberta with Scout. Started growing food, living off-grid, simplifying everything — and we started actually being together.
Now I build my wellness business from wherever we are. The cabin, the backroad, off-grid somewhere with the Land Cruiser. The schedule is built around living — not the other way around.
