Does Your Home Support the Life You Actually Want to Live?

We choose our homes based on schools, safety, and square footage.But we rarely ask: what kind of life can I live here?In this episode, I share what I learned the hard way.When I moved from Chicago to California, I lost two sources of community I didn’t even realize I was depending on. The friendships I had built at work and the ones that formed naturally in my neighborhood. Only when I lost both did I realize how much I had relied on these built-in environments for support.Accidental friendships, the ones that happen because your environment makes them easy, turned out to be key to my happiness. And they don’t happen everywhere.In this episode, I talk about what I’ve learned about the kind of home and environment that supports the life you want to live.If you prefer to read instead, you can do so here: This is a public episode.
