A Place to Call Home Lucile Masson

You can grow up and spend your entire life in a small town in Germany and never feel at home there. At least, that's what pushed Mel, our guest this week, to leave her country and explore the world. Driven by her will to find the perfect home, she looked at a lot of places until, finally, she found it in a very unexpected place: Vermont, USA.

In this last episode of 2023, Mel and I discussed the deep feeling of belonging you can get from a place, the importance of having a criteria list and what it does to listen to your inner voice. Thank you so much to her for coming to the podcast!
