What if the life you’re building isn’t the life you actually want?

Eleanor and Dave were successful architects with demanding careers, a home, financial stability and a young family. From the outside, they had built exactly what they were supposed to build.

But something didn't feel right.

After years of planning, they finally chose a different path. A path built around family, adventure, freedom and time together.

What started with a sabbatical and a year-long trip eventually became van life, bikepacking, boat life and a home in French Polynesia. Today, they travel the world with their children while building a business around the lifestyle they actually want to live.

In this episode, we talk about:

• Why a successful career wasn't worth missing out on family time

• The five-year plan that helped them make the leap

• Going from architects to van life, bikepacking and living on a sailboat

• Why financial security can sometimes keep us stuck

• Raising children while travelling the world

• Why they believe perfect is the enemy of good

• And what happens when you finally walk through the door you've been afraid to open

If you've ever dreamed about doing something completely different with your life, this one is for you.
