Felicity Lee and Daniel Colman moved to France to avoid the debt trap, embarking on a strawbale building project to create the home they wanted
They talk about their journey, why owning your time is critical and discuss why they want to empower others to take bold steps to shape their own destiny, engage in self-enquiry and refine their deepest convictions about purpose, life, earth and love
KEY TAKEAWAYS
We wanted to create a house which we had to co-exist with, and it’s grown with us over the last few years
With this approach, you can potentially free yourself from spiralling energy costs
Starting with nothing allowed us to build systems that grew with us
The house has a rhythm, it needs to be lived in and it needs you to participate in it but what you get back from it is enormous
The 90% rule means that when you can compromise on the 10% you will exponentially end up with a simpler system that serves your needs
Being green isn’t about sacrificing everything it’s about finding balance and compromise about a proportion of what you do and that brings huge benefits
It’s about incremental change, if you want to change set yourself up for success not failure
Changing and having a different set of priorities and a different trajectory is enough
There are lots of moments of peace, emptiness and spaciousness throughout the day
BEST MOMENTS
‘Our house ebbs and flows with the seasons’
‘With the 90% rule, simpler systems become viable’
‘I’m participating in the natural cycle and enriching the soil on which I depend’
‘There is a lot of space and a lot of peace in our lives’

ABOUT THE HOST
I’m a successful career mum turned entrepreneur (soon to be author..) and speaker.
I was one of a few corporate women in tech who was successful to reach a level before hitting my head firmly on the glass ceiling. All while I was constantly having to choose between my kids and my career. I was burnt out, overwhelmed and unfulfilled.
I wasn’t living, I was surviving and this outdated corporate career path wasn’t serving anyone.
I took everything I learnt about systems, data and technology and created my first online business empowering leaders through training, webinars and coaching. Before finally
accepting my calling to help others escape the outdated 9-5 and create a
business that works for their life. Leveraging mindset and technology.
