Where you
LIVE
MATTERS
Whether you've been considering a big move, experimenting with a nomadic lifestyle, giving it all up for a slow life in a small town, or trying to make your current space feel like home, your place matters more for your happiness than anything else.
NEW FOR 2025!
My forthcoming course & community to help you find your next happy place and love where you live. Whether you're looking for a quaint small town on the New England seaboard or chasing your dream to (finally!) move to France, this hybrid course explores my 3C's of geohappiness: (1) culture, or how aligned we are with our greater surroundings; (2) community, or how aligned we are with our social surroundings ; and (3) coziness, or how aligned we are with our private surroundings. And all three have the power to change your life.

DEER SH*T FOR MORTALS: A Hilariously Blunt Survival Guide to Life in Trump Country is a sharp, laugh-out-loud nonfiction narrative about an American traveler who stumbles back to her one-stoplight hometown and discovers it’s basically a foreign country. Over the course of a year, she grapples with the bizarre rituals of rural life, picks up skills she never knew existed (like mending fences and avoiding rabid raccoons), and uncovers jaw-dropping quirks and shocking cultural differences among her fellow Americans. Equal parts irreverent memoir and cultural exposé, this book peels back the flannel to reveal what life is really like for the 46 million Americans who call Trump Country home—a world the rest of the nation struggles to understand but can no longer afford to ignore.
