Home Isn’t a Place: Alison Gieschen’s Life on the Water

What happens when you let go of the idea that home has to look a certain way?In this episode of The Story Seat, I sit down with Alison Gieschen, who shares the story behind her decision to leave traditional living behind and build a life on a boat with her husband. What began as a bold and unconventional choice has become a deeply intentional way of living—one rooted in freedom, simplicity, and connection.Alison opens up about the emotional and practical realities of life on the water—the adjustments, the unexpected challenges, and the quiet beauty that comes with choosing a different path. We talk about partnership, navigating uncertainty, and what it means to truly feel at home, not because of where you are, but because of how you live.This conversation is a gentle but powerful reminder that the life you’re meant to live might not look like anyone else’s—and that’s perfectly okay.
