In this episode, we set sail on a voyage into the heart of storytelling and sea-bound living with Liz Shipton, an indie author who has carved out a life that's as unconventional as it is inspiring. Living with her boyfriend Trevor, and their dog Aloy on their 43’ sailboat, Liz gives us a glimpse into the realities of her day-to-day life at sea and how it feeds into her creative work.
We explore her book series about dystopian adventures set in a future where most of the world is submerged in saltwater. You'll hear about her encounters with rough seas and her observations on climate change and environmental issues. Liz's ability to tackle challenging topics like mental health and addiction, influenced by her personal struggles, brings forth a unique authenticity that makes her writing truly stand out.
Offering insights and advice about off-grid travel, Liz's story is a compelling look at the dedication it takes to follow one's passions. Tune in for an enlightening discussion that may just spark your own ideas about living life on your own terms.
