If you ever find yourself daydreaming about walking away from it all and moving to the woods, or maybe you spend evenings doom scrolling on real estate sites, looking for land and farm houses — this is the episode for you!

My dear friend and actual woodland fairy, Hannah Regier, actually did it when she left her job as a user researcher traveling the world, living in big cities, and moved her life into an 1800's schoolhouse, deep in rural Vermont.

Hannah tells her story behind why she changed her path, what her new life looks like, the things that are more wonderful, the things that are harder, and what she’d say to anyone thinking about finding their way to the woods.

Sit back, grab your tea, and get excited people, this is the person you’ve been dying to meet!
