Quotes from the episode

“I knew immediately, this is what I want to do. I had missed the travel. I had missed connecting with people from my previous work. And I didn't need or even want that big house anymore. It was kind of an instant fall in love, and then be terrified by the decision I just made.” - Dr. Brenda

 

“When you live your lifestyle sustainably, you're going to be saving money. So you're going to be growing that gap between your expenses and income, having more money to save and invest, and when you put your lifestyle in there, to me, it's coherence.” - Dr. Brenda

 

“My RV has taught me what joy means.” - Dr. Brenda
