We often get a little reflective at this time of year. What we want more, or less, of in  life. Where we're going. What it all means. And when you start thinking like this, it can lead to big life decisions.

That's exactly what happened to Holly Wainwright. Three years ago, she was in this sort of reflective mood; one which ultimately led to her and her partner's decision to make the momentous family move from city to country. 

In this episode, Mia sits down with Holly to ask all the questions both she and the Outlouders have been wanting to know about Holly's move. Enjoy this intimate conversation about the highs and lows of making a major life choice.
