Ready to lighten your load, both physically and mentally? In the second installment of the Nomad Newbie Series, we tackle downsizing - the first but often one of the hardest steps to transitioning to a life of freedom.

With the help of two special guests, we share tips and advice for letting go of your possessions.  Chris DeCroce, a former Nashville homeowner turned sailboat resident,  successfully severed his emotional attachments to material possessions. He discusses the psychological aspects of downsizing and provides a roadmap on where to start, focusing first on the items that carry no emotional weight.

But it's not just about letting go, it's also about embracing a new way of life. Kandace and Justin did just that when they downsized to live full time in their travel trailer.  They share their approach which consists of starting early, starting small, and making a plan to transition to this new lifestyle.

Whether you're contemplating a life on the road or the open waves, this episode is for you. Get ready to leave the conventional behind and step towards a life filled with less stuff and more experiences.

Once you’ve downsized, you might be wondering what stuff you actually do need for your new life on the road.  Check out my list of van life essentials at https://thewaywardhome.lpages.co/van-life-essentials-podcast/.
