Our Blog, Chrissy and Col

We’re Chrissy & Col, and we chose rural living for the space, the simplicity, and the deeper connection it gives us to what truly matters.

Living on our rural property has shaped how we live and how we work. It’s reinforced the importance of intention, personal responsibility, and creating a lifestyle that supports our values rather than competing with them.

Choosing to work online wasn’t about stepping away from commitment or chasing quick wins. It was a conscious decision to build something sustainable—work that fits around the life we love, allows flexibility, ongoing personal growth, and meaningful contribution, regardless of location.

Through this blog, we share our story, the lessons we’ve learned, and the mindset shifts that have allowed us to build an online income while continuing to live rurally. It’s where real life meets personal development and practical systems—showing that living remotely doesn’t mean thinking small, and that your location doesn’t have to define your opportunities.

This blog is more than a collection of articles — it’s a reflection of the lifestyle choices we’ve made and the path that led us here.

Over the years, our lives have changed in ways we never could have planned. We chose a different pace. A different way of working. A different definition of success — one that values freedom, learning, contribution, and alignment with how we actually want to live.

Through these posts, we share the experiences, insights, and lessons that shaped those changes. Some are practical. Some are reflective. All are grounded in real life. From living rural and working online, to personal growth, mindset, and building flexibility around family and lifestyle — each piece connects to the bigger picture of how intentional choices can open up new possibilities.

This isn’t about perfection or overnight results. It’s about growth over time, learning what works, and being open to evolving along the way. Our hope is that as you explore these posts, you’ll not only get to know our story, but perhaps see parts of your own reflected too.
