Freedom Lifestyle & a Baby: You Can Have Both with Sofie Red

– Freedom Lifestyle Edition –

Kat’s Podcast – Episode no. 6

 

“When I knew he was coming the first thought was: I have to go back to Australia and that’s the travel adventure, over. I’m back to conventional life. – And then I suddenly thought: I don’t live a conventional life, I can do whatever I want. Let’s just see what happens.”

 

In this episode I chat with Sofie Red, a travel mum and minimalist living expert. What fascinates me most about her: All her belongings fit in one (can you believe it?!) suitcase and Sofie keeps traveling the world, even having a child now. She’s a great example showing that living your freedom, traveling the world and having children don’t have to be mutually exclusive concepts. 

This episode is not only for parents or parents-to-be with a strong sense for an unconventional lifestyle, but also for those of you who look for some inspiration on being less attached to material stuff.

We talk about: 

  • strategic travel planning with a baby
  • tips for traveling with a baby and why you need a lot less than you think you do
  • the surprising baby stuff Sofie is carrying with her 
  • Sofie’s secret to downsizing and living minimalist and free
  • thoughts on consumerism & the re-evaluation of what you possess
  • minimalist luggage
  • motivation for her freedom lifestyle
  • what getting out of the 9-to-5 grind has gotta do with unlearning what we’ve been taught
  • why she doesn’t want to put her son into school
  • how to make the switch from 9-5 to a more freedom-filled life & the mindset of traditional education vs. new work
  • trusting the life you wanna live
  • community & the role it plays in raising her child
  • being a full-time mum with part-time work hours: managing baby, online business and travel
  • health & nutrition: what Sofie experienced and is now teaching: going beyond what you think is healthy & establishing new habits, in her case: quitting coffee!
