I’m sharing my takeaways and what I plan to implement next summer in order to truly squeeze the most out of my favorite 3 months.

In this episode I sit down with a dear friend of mine, Megan Jurvis, to talk about how/why her and her family made the decision to leave their mainstream lifestyle and travel the country (and then some) in an RV for 8 years. Megan had a typical upbringing, one that did not necessarily steer her in the direction to do something "different." Motherhood brought a new perspective as she chose to follow an attachment parenting style and homeschool her children. Both decisions would allow for an alternative lifestyle, one that she was being pulled towards.   Megan shares how she worked past the fear and was able to make big decisions in order to spend almost a decade experiencing something that does not come with a guidebook.  I hope you find some tidbits of inspiration listening to Megan's story as you work to build a live you love.    Megan is a Freelance Graphic Designer and can be contacted at meganjurvisdesign@gmail.com.  You can check out some of their adventures on instagram @freewheelingfamily    For more information on Wellmade Restorative follow on Instagram & Facebook @wellmaderestorative or visit the website Wellmade Restorative
