Ep 103: How to Downsize and Simplify Your Life with Ryan Mitchell

Are you part of the 50% of Americans interested in tiny homes? It looks like the population is split with the numbers skewing toward younger people being more eager to try living in a smaller space, but people of all ages are curious about the trend.


If you find yourself daydreaming about having more freedom, less debt, and ditching the stuff for a beautiful - yet tiny - house, you are not alone. This week’s guest on the Wannabe Minimalist Show will show you how he was able to downsize and simplify his life by going tiny and how you can too - even if you are not planning to move into a tiny home!


Living in only 150 square feet for years, Ryan Mitchell has learned a thing or two about living simply. From downsizing to life simplification, and designing a life that’s right for you, Ryan brings a lot of experience and practical knowledge to the table.


He built his own tiny house in 2012 learning as he went along which inspired him to help others in their journey to live small. Today he still lives in his tiny house full time and off grid with solar, teaching others how to live simply.
