Thriving not Surviving

Ep16: Off-Grid and In Flow: Life in the Woods with Helen Valentino


Listen Later

In this heartfelt and spontaneous episode of Thriving Not Surviving, the tables are turned as Helen’s best friend interviews her about her extraordinary off-grid life in the woods. What started as a practical choice after a big life shake-up became a sacred way of living, full of meaning, challenge, and deep personal growth.

Helen shares how she manifested her woodland home, her reflections on swapping village life for birdsong and wild spaces, and how connection to nature, prayer, and community have shaped her journey. This is a conversation about resilience, faith, self-sufficiency, and the beauty of choosing a life that nourishes your soul.

What We Cover:

  • How a major life change sparked Helen’s move to the woods
  • The power of manifestation and trusting the unknown
  • What it’s really like to live off-grid (the joyful, the gritty, and the unexpected)
  • Building community around the fire — literally
  • Sacred practices: prayer, gratitude, and communion with nature
  • Lessons in letting go, receiving, and thriving in harmony with the land

If you’ve ever dreamed of stepping away from the noise and living more in tune with the earth, this episode is for you.
