What happens when your “forever home” isn’t forever after all? We sit down with Lindsay Parks—wife, mom of five, creator, and co-host of Built for More—to unpack the surprising decision to sell the dream house she built in public, and the freedom that followed. This isn’t a story about loss; it’s a story about listening. Lindsay shares how a quiet nudge became a clear call, how she navigated pride and fear, and why obedience sometimes looks like doing less instead of doing more.

We dig into the messy middle of online life and real family. Lindsay explains how she and her husband Eric (a physician and seminary grad) sought margin—financially and emotionally. 

Along the way, we talk about what home truly is: not square footage, but a place where burdens come off at the door. Lindsay offers encouragement for moms of littles to find community and swap support, and practical wisdom for parenting teens—know their friends, keep the conversation open, and expect beauty alongside the bumps. She also shares the simple marriage rhythms that sustain big decisions: midweek day-dates, evening walks that double as check-ins, and a yearly getaway that flexes with the season.

If you’ve been feeling a nudge to simplify, to create margin, or to choose peace over optics, this conversation will meet you where you are. Listen, share it with someone who needs courage for a hard choice, and if it resonates, subscribe, leave a review, and pass it on so more families can find practical hope.
