About this episode

Zoe Marshall interviews Andrew Sloan about his transformative journey living in nature and the insights gained from stepping away from societal expectations.

This week i'm sitting with Andrew Sloan, and honestly, this conversation stayed with me long after we stopped recording. Andrew spent years doing the work, healing, moving through systems that kept him small and disconnected from himself. and then one day, he chose something different. he walked away from the expected path, packed his life into a van, and went to live inside nature. not as an escape but as a return. We talk about what that decision actually felt like. the difference between loneliness and aloneness. what gets quiet when you stop filling your life with noise. and what starts to speak when you finally give it space. This one is for anyone who's been sensing there's another way to live but hasn't quite let themselves believe it yet. it might be the permission you didn't know you were waiting for.
