Big Family Minimalist is all about chasing what we call
"the NEW American dream." Once upon a time, we to-
tally fell for the "get a career, buy a house and two cars"
version of the AD, but we quickly learned we hated it.
So now we're sharing and hoping to inspire other fami-
lies to define their own Dream and chase after that, no
matter how crazy people think they are. For us, that
looks like selling our house and traveling the country
with 5 kids in a 29' travel trailer!
Simplified Business Systems is our biz that's all about
helping business owners put processes and systems
into place that allow them to have the space for the
dreamy life. People often start a business to have more
freedom and flexibility in their lives, but more often
than not they find that owning their own business is
even MORE restricting than working for someone else.
We help them find that freedom while creating sus-
tainability in their business. This was such a natural
spinoff from what we share at BFM becau se people
looked at our plan and said "but how? I can't do that,
I'm chained here..." and we wanted to help them see it
doesn't have to be that way.
PS - I also have the Do It Scared Podcast with Liza
Wilde!
I blend being a badass business owner with tons of
travel and homeschooling 5 kids (ages 3-9). It's defi-
nitely not a walk in the park! It takes a lot of juggling,
but it's been totally worth it to build this lifestyle for
our family! .
The question everyone asks lately is "Where are you
going first when you hit the road?" But you can ask me
whatever you want!
