I was honoured when Brandi Welkie contacted me and asked me to be a part of The New Family podcast series.  First of all, it is MUCH easier to answer questions via Skype then sit down and put pen to paper for an article.  Second, I feel so 100% positive that the changes we made, changed our life.  We are a better family, and happier people because of the risks we took, and I still feel that sometimes society expects us to live the “good enough” life instead of the “extraordinary” one.

I hope that by sharing a bit of our story we can continue to inspire others to wipe the slate clean and build the life they DREAMED of. While yours may not be like mine (surrounded by goats and chicken and sunshine and fresh food) I am sure it will fill your soul.

Check out the New Family Project for other stories of modern views on family life, and then listen to my interview here… perhaps it will inspire YOU!
