Why We Choose Risk Over Comfort + Financial Security | Life Lessons That Loss Has Taught Us
Tue Feb 03 2026
Last week, we received a comment on the podcast that said, "We would love to do what you are doing, but it seems too risky".
In today's episode, we would like to address that comment and share a few life lessons grief has taught us.
We would like to pass on the reason we travel the world, (even though we still have a big mortgage).
This is why we do what we do. This is how we do it.
We hope our words bring you clarity and inspiration.
We love you. Thank you for your support and your wonderful comments.
