    I hear you. I changed my life drastically at 59. Moved frim a city with 300.000 inhabitants to an island with close to 20.000. Now live in a small house near a fjord and have a big garden. Happy to hear your story ❤ It is never too late ❤

    "Too much" is a thing and to recognize it, reevaluate, take action (yes while being brave) in order to choose to listen to our intuition, our senses calling us towards health and wellness and the necessity for very personal self honor is usually monumental in a woman's life while most certainly a tremendous time to radically blossom........ A strong sense of discomfort, a feeling of being off course and usually a time that we hyper analyze while focusing on a primarily logical perspective rather than leaning fully into our intuition, a true struggle within, yet in my opinion a transition phase to a birthing of sorts, a painful growth "chapter" and a time that takes legit bravery and courage.
    Michelle, I sincerely live your story and I am so very happy for you. I'm sixty one, living at a high alpine lake of California, fulltime for over foury years. I've been living my dream, not to say that life hasnt also had some tremendous challenges, yet regardless living my dream. I've arrived at a crossroads over the past three years due to a sudden change of my prior very good health and wellness, very active lifestyle that allowed a very intimate relationship to my environment and community. Ive had to reevaluate, consider radical change and possibly starting over elswhere once again and I can certainly see the possitives in that, but I'm also looking at the snowbird approach to a warm weather migraion for the freezing cold/icy months. Financially I need to figure out a way as my health issues have become a realty. Bravery, courage and change are so very dynamic with aspects of mystery, yet also so stimulating as new doorways open and the joys of discovery unfold.....
    I just "happened" apon your RUclips channel while sipping some hot coffee, smiling from this share of yours and joyfully inspired. I'm reminded by the landmarks in time and opportunities for change that surface unexpectedly, at different times and throughout our lives that eventually delight, making our lives what they are. Sensing, trusting as we choose to take steps into the mysteries ahead and making the most of the creative journey is what life is truly about, in my opinion.
    Wonderful that you and James have your lovely partnership and along with family and community I wish to you endless beauty, joy, endless creativity and infanite love.
    Ode to talking stories and to our modern villages that can cross continants while resonating in the hearts of many.......
    Congrats to you and a beautiful day too,
    Tara

    All power to you, Michelle, for following your heart. We often feel it is too hard but when we are brave enough to follow our hearts, the rewards are so much more than we ever dreamed possible. I moved country when I was 40 & thought I would be here for the rest of my life but, nearly 20 years later, I am doing it again. Making our dreams real is what makes life worth living. Thank you for your courage & sharing

    I'm not sure how I stumbled across your story. But I am so very thankful that I did! It resonated with me on so many levels. I appreciate your candor and openness. Your story is truly inspirational. I am currently walking through a very similar situation with my career and life. And hearing your story gives me great hope. If you've ever questioned if sharing your story was worthwhile, here's your confirmation. Thank you so much! I pray you are truly blessed in this season of life!

    This IS truly inspiring and I can just feel how grateful you must be. Unfortunately, many people live with just enough money to keep a roof over their head and the heat on without the business success or the savings and may not have a partner that is willing to make that kind of move.
    Don’t get me wrong, I am not dissing anyone that can do it- just wish there were more stories also of how or even IF people have made a change in the harder situations.
    You are lovely and eloquent. Keep living the dream and inspiring others to do the same.

    • @thetielife

      The truth is, before I grew my business, I was the person barely scraping by, just trying to keep a roof over my head. If you think about how much blood, sweat, and tears it took to reach my breaking point with my business-and how that breaking point eventually paved the way for my huge life transformation-that’s really the heart of it. But being a business owner is no joke. It’s nonstop, every single day. You can’t just clock out and leave your work behind; your mind is always on-planning, problem-solving, trying to make it all work.
      It took an unimaginable amount of effort, sacrifice, and sheer grit to get here, and I know there are people in far worse situations than I was!
      That’s something I’ll never lose sight of. But for me, pushing through that overwhelming, all-consuming hustle was what finally turned my life around. It’s been worth it, but man, it’s not for the faint of heart. ❤️ Thank you for watching and sharing your perspective.

    Beautiful story of your life, resonated deeply with my own story. I can see in your face you have definitely found where you are meant to be - what pure joy. Our culture pedals success in so many different forms when deep down humans just need to be grounded and surrounded by nature. You have a new subscriber - thank you for sharing. Spent alot of time in Canmore in my younger days and feel like Canada is a second home. Here’s to being in your 40s and fabulous!

    Your life story is amazing but in my opinion you landed in Heaven on this earth plane. I am 77 years young and live in Arvada Colorado and would like to move back to my Hometown of Minturn which is a small mountain town where I was born and raised and love. God willing I hope to move back and hopefully with the Tesla technology of the Med Beds that will be released as soon as the Military Occupation is over that could make it possible which would heal and give my body extra years to enjoy life. So happy for you and James and love your channel ❤️❤️❤️
