Welcome to Life Done Differently – A Podcast that’s all about people who are living alternative lifestyles.
In each episode, I interview people who escaped the rat-race and are living alternative lifestyles. We talk about why they chose this path, how they made it happen, obstacles they had to overcome, things they learned along the way and much more.
Through this podcast, you will meet a range of amazing people living amazing lives. From people living on off-grid properties, in vans or on boats, people who travel full-time, people who chose very unusual careers, people who left the corporate world to start their own businesses as well as people who made small and simple changes in their life to have more time for the things they love.
EP34 – Starting a Business to Balance Family and Work Ambitions – Tiffani Higgins
Hello everyone, and welcome to another episode of Life Done Differently.
Today’s episode is all about work like balance – particularly balancing family and work ambitions.
Of course, kids and family aren’t exactly my area of expertise, so I invited a guest who knows much more about this than I do.
I’m joined by Tiffani Higgins, who gave up a corporate accounting career to start her own business because she wanted more time for her kids and family.
We talk about how having kids changed Tiffani’s perspective on how she wanted to live her life, the challenges of balancing kids and a career and the pressure moms are facing these days to do and be it all.
Tiffani shares how she started her own accounting business and how that helped her have more freedom and flexibility in life. We talk about the challenges she had to overcome, how she managed to grow the business and the many lessons Tiffani has learned along the way.
We also talk about the importance of setting boundaries when being self-employs and how challenging this can be. This is a topic that comes up often when I talk to people who are living the nomad dream, so it was interesting to hear Tiffani’s views on that.
For all that and more, listen to my conversation with Tiffani.

EP33 – Life on a Sailboat, Working Remotely and Mental Health – Sophie & Ryan
Hello everyone, and welcome to another episode of Life Done Differently – The Podcast.
For this episode, I’m joined by Sophie and Ryan, who left the corporate world to move onto a sailboat and travel around the world – with no previous sailing experience, as I might add.
Ryan and Sophie share how a bit of a freak accident led them to rethink life and stumble across the idea of living on a sailboat.
They realised that even though they were doing really well with their careers, it wasn’t the lifestyle they wanted. So they decided to break free.
However, theirs is not a ‘dive right in’ kind of story. Instead, Sophie and Ryan gave themselves the time they needed to plan and prepare for the big move. They learned how to sail, bought their boat and started to take steps towards earning a living remotely. It took three years of preparation, but then they were ready to hit the road – or the water, to be more accurate.
Both Sophie and Ryan have struggled with anxiety and mental health challenges at different times throughout their lives, so we talk a bit about that as well. The two are super honest and open about those challenges, which is really inspiring. And they share some super valuable insights and tips.

EP32 – Narrowboat Life in England – Anthony & Paul
Hello and welcome to another episode of Life Done Differently – The Podcast.
A few years ago, I read the DI Hillary Greene Series of crime novels by Faith Martin. The lead character in this series is a female detective who lives on a narrowboat. Ever since then, I’ve been fascinated by narrowboats and what it would be like to live on one.
So, I’m super stoked to have finally found two people to talk to about narrowboat life for the podcast.
Anthony and Paul, together with their dog Dexter, went from living in a big house to enjoying narrowboat life on the canals in England.
In this episode, we talk about how and why they made the decision, what attracted them to narrowboat life, and what life on the canals is like.
Paul and Anthony share lots of valuable insights about the practicalities of narrowboat life, what they enjoy most about the lifestyle, the challenges they had to overcome, the community around them and more.
If you’ve ever wondered what it’s like to live on a narrowboat, this episode is for you. I hope you enjoy it. So here is my chat with Anthony and Paul.
