A Brief History of the Last Three Years

One of the things that doesn't get spoken about often enough is the loneliness that can be felt when downsizing and starting over.This doesn’t necessarily need to be the kind of loneliness that you’re completely off-grid, or you have no friends, or you’ve left family and all you know behind.No, it’s more about the loneliness of simple things that you may have taken for granted, or maybe didn’t put as much thinking into before making the move.In episode two of A Downsized Life, I talk about:<ul><li>[01:29] Missing simple social gatherings when downsizing</li><li>[02:12] Missing the convenience of things to do within walking distance of your home</li><li>[04:37] The incredible darkness that northern Ontario offers</li><li>[06:14] Why loneliness can be a good thing</li></ul> Listen in as Danny shares his thoughts on these challenges, and what comes next in our journey to downsize our lives.<h4>Products I use for A Downsized Life</h4>Note: these contain affiliate links, so I may get a small percentage of any product you buy/use when using my link.My equipment:<ul><li><a href="https://www.shure.com/en-GB/products/microphones/sm7b" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Shure SM7B dynamic mic</a></li><li><a href="https://rode.com/en/interfaces-and-mixers/rodecaster-series/rodecaster-pro-ii" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Rodecaster Pro II audio production studio</a></li><li><a href="https://amzn.to/3JUtJVn" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Sony MDR-7506 Studio Monitor Headphones</a></li><li><a href="https://www.elgato.com/en/wave-mic-arm-lp" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Elgato Wave Mic Arm Low Profile</a></li></ul> Recommended resources:<ul><li><a href="https://www.captivate.fm/signup?ref=dannybrown2" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Captivate.fm</a></li><li><a href="https://substack.com/refer/dannybrown" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Substack</a></li><li><a href="https://boomcaster.com/?fpr=dannybrown" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Boomcaster remote interviewing</a></li></ul> <ul><li><a href="Products I use for One Minute Podcast Tips Note: these contain affiliate links, so I may get a small percentage of any product you buy/use when using my link.

The Loneliness of Downsizing and Starting Over

After two months of making the move from a large Canadian City to a small village three hours north, we're discovering little things that we may not have expected.Our original goals, for example, included less clutter, less stress, and a happier lifestyle overall. While that's definitely still the case, and we haven't really been disappointed so far, not everything is quite working out as planned, so far.In episode one of A Downsized Life, I talk about:<ul><li>How the less clutter goal isn't quite being met</li><li>What this means for our stress levels</li><li>Unexpected purchases, and what that means with regards our plans</li><li>The longer winter, and its impact on us</li><li>The challenges of keeping two young kids entertained while still needing to work</li></ul> Listen in as Danny shares his thoughts on these challenges, and what comes next in our journey to downsize our lives.<h4>Products I use for A Downsized Life</h4>Note: these contain affiliate links, so I may get a small percentage of any product you buy/use when using my link.My equipment:<ul><li><a href="https://www.shure.com/en-GB/products/microphones/sm7b" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Shure SM7B dynamic mic</a></li><li><a href="https://rode.com/en/interfaces-and-mixers/rodecaster-series/rodecaster-pro-ii" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Rodecaster Pro II audio production studio</a></li><li><a href="https://amzn.to/3JUtJVn" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Sony MDR-7506 Studio Monitor Headphones</a></li><li><a href="https://www.elgato.com/en/wave-mic-arm-lp" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Elgato Wave Mic Arm Low Profile</a></li></ul> Recommended resources:<ul><li><a href="https://www.captivate.fm/signup?ref=dannybrown2" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Captivate.fm</a></li><li><a href="https://substack.com/refer/dannybrown" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Substack</a></li><li><a href="https://boomcaster.com/?fpr=dannybrown" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Boomcaster remote interviewing</a></li></ul> <ul><li><a href="Products I use for One Minute Podcast Tips Note: these contain affiliate links, so I may get a small percentage of any product you buy/use when using my link.

Why You Should Listen to A Downsized Life

Welcome to A Downsized Life, where we explore the joys and challenges of moving from a big city to a small village to lead a quieter, simpler life. Join your host Danny Brown and occasionally his wife Jaclyn, as well as their  kids Ewan and Salem, as they share their experiences about the transition and offer tips and insights for those looking to downsize their lives.

We'll discuss the benefits of downsizing, including less stress, more time for hobbies and passions, and a stronger sense of community. We'll also talk about the experience of leaving behind the hustle and bustle of the city and discovering the peace and quiet of a small village. 

Listen as we open up about the challenges of downsizing, such as finding a new home, adjusting to a slower pace of life, and building new social connections. Every episode will provide practical advice on how to make the move, downsize possessions, and adjust to a simpler lifestyle.

Whether you're considering a move to a small village, or simply looking for ways to simplify your life, A Downsized Life has something for you. Tune in for inspiration, advice, and how you can also find happiness in a quieter, more meaningful way of living.
