Reader Stories

📝 Welcome to Reader Stories

This is a space for the dreamers. The wanderers. The rebels who said no thanks to the 9–5 and decided to build a life that actually feels like theirs.

Here, we share our stories.

The raw beginnings. The brave leaps. The small steps that changed everything. Whether you're just starting out or already deep in your journey—your voice matters.

✨ Have you left a job that drained you?
✨ Downsized your life to gain freedom?
✨ Taken a risk to follow a creative dream?

Tell us about it. These stories light the way for others—and your words might be exactly what someone needs to hear right now.

This space is also here for your questions and struggles.
If you’re facing something hard or unsure what comes next, feel free to share that too. You can ask me (Scott) directly—I may not have all the answers, but I’ll meet your question with honesty, care, and whatever insight I can offer.

And you’re not alone here. There are a lot of people on Substack already living the kind of lifestyle you are chasing. Who knows—one of my readers might have the exact perspective or encouragement you need, waiting in the comment section.
