Ep. 258: Colleen Mariotti - Learning to Let Go and Live Plantstrong

We often talk about how living a Plantstrong life is an adventure if you let go of expectations, allow yourself to be more free, and learn to embrace imperfection! On this episode, Rip talks with Colleen Mariotti who, along with her family, have done this in spades when they sold most of their possessions over 10 years ago and started a nomadic life together. What did she find when she learned to let go? Joy, pleasure, and beautiful people who are willing to help at every turn. And, the best part? She has also remained Plantstrong - even in the tiniest of villages where you can’t just pick up a product from the shelf! (In fact, we even found out that she first heard of the Esselstyn family in Slovenia of all places!)She chronicles her family’s journey on her blog Livology, where they offer stories and mindfulness practices to inspire you wherever you are.
