Testimonials

The FRED Framework

F is for FINANCES

There are so many questions that need to be answered before you can see if it makes financial sense to move. Budgets, decluttering and selling stuff can be fun really fun when you have a carrott of joy dangling in front of your face. 

R is for ROBUSTNESS

Let’s talk through what’s normal to feel during a move, what anxiety or emotions could arise, & how you can prepare to overcome them ahead of time. Moving is also physically taxing even if you are in good shape and hiring movers. 

E is for ECOSYTEM

It’s easy to overlook the everyday conveniences that you currently have in your environment. If you don’t explore stuff like this ahead of time, you’re setting yourself up for the 6-Month-Funk and trust me friends, it can get ugly. 

D is for DREAMS

Ambition is put on your heart for a reason- we’ll reverse engineer you into that life! Is this move getting me closer to achieving my spiritual, financial, creative, crazy, big, hairy, audacious goals and dreams? It better be!
