Downsizing Reality - the Weeks That Nearly Broke Me! Dream Life Diaries Ep. 7

I’ve sold my home, but the sale depends on getting a leak fixed—something completely out of my control—while also dealing with delays starting renovations in my new place. In this video, I’m sharing what’s really been happening behind the scenes and how I’ve been trying to stay grounded using a few simple Stoic principles when everything feels chaotic.
