Show Notes
We first met Trent and Allie in 2018 when we bonded over van life. Now, they’re building a home from the ground up in the mountains while raising a young family, all while documenting the journey on their YouTube channel. In this episode, Trent and Allie share the personal decisions that have shaped their path, how they’ve navigated major life changes together, and what it’s been like to take risks, build a YouTube channel, and raise a family. They also open up about filming and sharing life’s toughest moments, postpartum depression and how loss has reshaped their perspective.
