EP33 – Life on a Sailboat, Working Remotely and Mental Health – Sophie & Ryan

Life Done Differently

Hello everyone, and welcome to another episode of Life Done Differently – The Podcast.

For this episode, I’m joined by Sophie and Ryan, who left the corporate world to move onto a sailboat and travel around the world – with no previous sailing experience, as I might add.

Ryan and Sophie share how a bit of a freak accident led them to rethink life and stumble across the idea of living on a sailboat.

They realised that even though they were doing really well with their careers, it wasn’t the lifestyle they wanted. So they decided to break free.

However, theirs is not a ‘dive right in’ kind of story. Instead, Sophie and Ryan gave themselves the time they needed to plan and prepare for the big move. They learned how to sail, bought their boat and started to take steps towards earning a living remotely. It took three years of preparation, but then they were ready to hit the road – or the water, to be more accurate.

Both Sophie and Ryan have struggled with anxiety and mental health challenges at different times throughout their lives, so we talk a bit about that as well. The two are super honest and open about those challenges, which is really inspiring. And they share some super valuable insights and tips.
