#068 - Today I'm sharing an episode with Ethan Waldman from the Tiny House Lifestyle podcast who interviews me about my tiny house journey and "how to build a health-conscious tiny home."

Here's the write-up from the Tiny House Lifestyle Podcast:

Today, we have a very special guest, Lucy Lich, joining us from the South Coast of New South Wales Australia. Lucy is not only a dedicated tiny house dweller, but also a yoga teacher, wellness enthusiast, and the host of the Tiny House Conversations podcast.

Over the next hour, we'll dive into how living tiny has profoundly integrated with her values of minimalism, health and environmental consciousness. Lucy will share her personal journey into tiny living, her insights on designing for health and minimizing environmental impacts, and how her experiences have shaped her podcast.

Join us as we explore the unique challenges and joys of tiny living with an expert who lives and breathes this lifestyle every day.

In This Episode:

• 🏡 Tiny House Customization: Lucy hired builders open to unique material customization, accommodating her health-centric needs in tiny house construction.
• 💡 Health-Oriented Lighting: The story behind trading standard bulbs with amber and red to mimic natural sunlight, promoting better sleep and relaxation.
• 🌿 Electromagnetic Sensitivity: Extra measures like non-wireless tech and special electrical wiring incorporated into the design to reduce electromagnetic fields.
• 💧 Natural Living Approach: Features like a composting toilet, rainwater tank, and solar setup installed to enhance sustainable living.
• 🤍 Mindfulness and Intentionality: Lucy's philosophy of intentionality and mindfulness permeates her tiny house living approach, focusing on eco-friendliness and connection with nature.

#066 - Ethan Waldman is a tiny house author, speaker, and teacher. He built his own tiny house on wheels in 2012, and has been passionately helping future tiny house dwellers on their own journeys ever since.

Ethan’s guide, Tiny House Decisions, has helped thousands of readers answer the big questions about tiny houses and plan each system in their future home.

He’s also the creator and host of the Tiny House Lifestyle Podcast, a show that brings you conversations with tiny house luminaries, builders, and DIYers.

Ethan was on the show back in episode #25 talking about Tiny House Decisions, and I’ve asked him to come back on the show to share about how he no longer lives full-time in his tiny and instead has it for rent on Airbnb.

In this conversation, we talk about:

• How Ethan’s situation changed from living long-term in his DIY tiny home to turning it into an Airbnb
• The arrangement that Ethan has with the landowner where his tiny house Airbnb is parked
• The composting toilet situation and how it has worked out so far
• What he would do differently if he were to have built his tiny home for the purpose of short-term rentals
• Some stories of a few mishaps that have occurred during the (almost 2 years) of operating the Airbnb… and more.
