Van Life: Missing Home, Finding Community, and Embracing the Unexpected


Listen Later

This week, our featured guest is Bryn Weber, who joined us to dive into all things van life. In 2017, Bryn discovered Brianna Madia's social media account, and was inspired to live minimally and on the road. In 2021, she made that dream her reality. In this episode, we discuss how into adulthood, Bryn quickly realized a "conventional lifestyle" was not for her. After building the van, she and her husband moved in and began working remotely while traveling across the country. While excited for the transition into their tiny space, Bryn also talks about the effects of being isolated from friends and family, and the new community she found along the way. 

In the second half of the episode, we jump into Nowhere for Very Long, the memoir written by Brianna Madia, the woman who inspired Bryn's van life journey. Brianna's journey is unique, and we discuss how she questioned the societal norm. Brianna's notes on mindfulness are something Bryn has held close as she's embraced the unexpected feelings of whether she is correctly living an unconventional lifestyle. We are thrilled to have Bryn join us for this episode, and hope you giggle as much as we did.
