We talk about why maintaining your routine matters more than you think, how simple traditions like a final-night picnic can create meaningful closure, and why exploring your new neighborhood right away helps you settle in faster.

We also get into a topic many people overlook: delegation. Understanding what your time is worth — and when it makes sense to hand tasks off — can save you days of stress and mental overload. Packing, unpacking, organizing… it’s all more customizable than most people realize.

In this episode, we cover:

• How keeping your routine lowers moving stress
• Simple ways to create positive moments around your move
• Why exploring your new area early makes a difference
• The real value of delegating packing and unpacking
• How customizable moving services can simplify your transition

Whether your move is weeks away or already on the calendar, this conversation will help you prepare smarter and move with confidence.

Most people assume town water is safe because it meets regulations.

But what if those limits still expose you to things you shouldn’t be consuming at all?

In this episode of Life Beyond Boxes, we break down what’s really happening with municipal water in Massachusetts, including PFAS contamination, aging infrastructure, and why “tested at the source” doesn’t mean “clean at the tap.”
