121: We bought a house + a story about my marriage, patience, trust, and surrender

In this episode, I share the personal big news: we bought a house.

I talk about why having a home with a garden has meant so much to me, how long and stressful the process has been, and what it brought up along the way. From selling our apartment, moving in with my in-laws, going to around 50 house viewings, and almost buying the wrong house, this has been a huge learning experience.

I also reflect honestly on my own patterns in our relationship, especially around rushing, pushing, and wanting things to happen on my timeline. This whole process helped me see where I needed to slow down, trust my husband more, and let us move as a team.

This episode is about buying a house, but also about patience, partnership, mistakes, repair, and trusting the timing of life.

In this episode:

  • Why I’ve always wanted to live in a house

  • What this house-buying process taught me

  • The pattern I had to face in my marriage

  • Learning to slow down and trust more

  • How we finally found and bought our house

 

This is a celebration of a new home, a new chapter, and the lessons that came with getting here.
