I'm Stephanie Safarian and this is episode 74.

You are listening to the Sustainable Minimalist Podcast,

a show about living simply and sustainably with your family.

Here's your host

host Stephanie Safarian. Hello there welcome back.

Thank you for joining me.

Today's show is all about inspiring you to live your best life.

That's because I'm chatting with authors Eric and Emily Orton.

The Ortons are a family of seven, that's five kids, one of them with special needs,

who packed up their lives, moved on to a sailboat, and

sailed around the Caribbean for a year.

I wanted to have Eric and Emily on the show because they have mastered intentional living. They had a dream like many of us do, but even

more important is that they had the courage, or maybe a better word is they had the grit,

to make it happen despite encountering many bumps along the way.

Today I'm asking Eric and Emily how exactly they customized their lives to make room for their dreams. We get into what

they've learned by living intentional off-the-grid lives too. Now Eric and

Emily's book is called Seven at Sea,

why a New York City family cast-off convention

for a life-changing year on a sailboat.

And Eric and Emily have generously

brought along a free hardcover copy for one lucky listener today.
