Not too long ago, Esther Emery decided to take an entire YEAR off the internet. And lived to tell about it! In fact, in this episode, Esther tells Tsh how it affected her life for the better, and why she’s more than willing to do it again. Esther and her family now live in the woods—literally. They currently live in a yurt and are building a cabin with wood from their land. They live off solar power, they grow quite a bit of their own food, and they do it all in the Idaho woods. Esther and Tsh get into what it means to build your own home, to disconnect from the online world but still engage in it, and to sit in silence.
