How We Pivoted Our Business for Full-Time Tiny Home Living: Lessons in Trusting Ourselves and Staying Aligned

For the last 9 months (well more like 2 years), my partner, James, and I have been hell-bent on figuring out how to pivot our business so we could live without our cell or internet, in our tiny home on our ranch full-time.

*Isn’t she dreamy?*

(This was us in July)

Since this pivot was such a foreign concept to me, I was sure I NEEDED someone else to teach me how to run my business from the mountains…

As a result, we invested upwards of $40,000 in coaches, consultants, courses, gurus, and (let’s be real) shiny objects who were saying everything I wanted to hear for a “quick and easy solution.”

Lo and behold, there was no magic pill, 30-day plan, or one-and-done process that solved all our problems.

Who woulda thought?

But here’s the deal: It’s just as important to learn what it IS NOT as it is to learn what it is.

And that’s especially true when it comes to trusting yourself and following your intuition.

As painful and slow as it can be. We’ve been putting one foot in front of the other and are figuring sh*t out using our inner compass to guide us now.

And it’s working! We’re starting to feel massive energetic shifts, bringing in more aligned business, and gaining even more clarity with each lesson.

And guess how we got there?

Going within and practicing what we preach! Ha!

Unconsciously, we had gotten out of alignment with our values and now we’re hyper-aware of it.

Biggest lesson: No more outsourcing your power, baby.

STARTING off, we’re going back to what we know (and love!) – revamping our newsletter.

When I first started my biz, people would tell me how much my emails supported them.

And yet I still questioned myself and thought there was a “better way” I could be doing it.

Now I KNOW the BEST way to do it is with unwavering faith in yourself.

And daymn that feels gooooooooood!

Our purpose is to return to our core values and help others do the same.

Especially when it’s unpopular and challenging to find the strength to keep going!

We get it (boy oh boy do we ever). And we’re energized to share and support your journey to alignment.

And that is what you can expect from our revamped “Values-Driven Life” newsletter going forward.

Storytelling, tools, and techniques to stay grounded and step into your authentic power but choosing your values on purpose.

It’s time to stop feeling drained and start being filled each day.

Which leads me to my important question for you.
