Episode Synopsis

Sometimes, downgrading is actually an upgrade—just not in the way you expect. In this episode, I’m sharing how moving into a smaller, less-upgraded rental has given me more peace, freedom, and alignment than my big, beautiful, “dream” home ever did. I dive into the emotional journey of letting go of my ego, prioritizing what truly matters, and realizing that sometimes the step back is exactly what you need to propel forward. If you’ve ever felt pressure to “keep up” with external expectations—whether it’s your house, car, career, or lifestyle—this episode is for you.
