Welcome.
My new book is called Big Enough. It’s about building an intentionally small business that supports the life you want to lead. I believe it’s time to rethink traditional versions of business success and focus on saner, healthier approaches.
After 20 years in Seattle, I recently moved to an island off the NW coast of Washington State and often share my experiences of building a house and transitioning to an island lifestyle.
My newsletter, Ready for Rain, is the best way to follow along.
Ready for Rain is newsletter that's personal
Each week, I share media recommendations and a story from my life on a rural island off the coast of Washington State, where I'm building a custom home and learning island culture. Learn more.
