Description

Feeling the pull to simplify and live more intentionally? In this inspiring episode, Joy and Lorraine chat with Shannon Arner, co-founder of Arner Adventures, about what happens when you ditch the hustle and start living on your own terms.

After experiencing burnout from running a nonstop business, Shannon and her husband Gerry made a radical shift—downsizing, moving to the coast, and embracing a minimalist lifestyle. Now, through their blog, podcast, and brand, they help others reconnect with what really matters.

Some of the key topics of the discussion include:

• What sparked Shannon and Gerry’s journey into minimalism—and what surprised them most
• How midlife women can take the first realistic step toward simplifying
• Balancing travel, sustainability, and intentional living
• The life-changing power of certain destinations
• Redefining success and creativity in a slower, smaller life
• Tips for managing the "what ifs" and navigating doubts during big transitions
• Encouragement for women who feel stuck and want more freedom

Whether you’re craving a major life shift or just looking to clear some space—physically and mentally—this conversation will spark ideas and remind you: you don’t need more to live more.
