Hello everyone, and welcome to another episode of Life Done Differently.
Today’s episode is all about work like balance – particularly balancing family and work ambitions.
Of course, kids and family aren’t exactly my area of expertise, so I invited a guest who knows much more about this than I do.
I’m joined by Tiffani Higgins, who gave up a corporate accounting career to start her own business because she wanted more time for her kids and family.
We talk about how having kids changed Tiffani’s perspective on how she wanted to live her life, the challenges of balancing kids and a career and the pressure moms are facing these days to do and be it all.
Tiffani shares how she started her own accounting business and how that helped her have more freedom and flexibility in life. We talk about the challenges she had to overcome, how she managed to grow the business and the many lessons Tiffani has learned along the way.
We also talk about the importance of setting boundaries when being self-employs and how challenging this can be. This is a topic that comes up often when I talk to people who are living the nomad dream, so it was interesting to hear Tiffani’s views on that.
For all that and more, listen to my conversation with Tiffani.

EP29 – A Kiteboarding Camp on a Remote Island– Karen Duncan
For this episode, I’m joined by Karen Duncan who gave up a career in telecommunication to build and run a Kiteboarding Resort on a small, remote island in Tonga, together with her partner Glenn.
Karen shares what inspired them to make this life-changing decision and how they went about making it a reality – which was no easy undertaking. From having to sort out visas, finding land and dealing with local laws, customs and processes to having to bring absolutely everything they needed over from New Zealand.
When they arrived in Tonga, they had nothing but a bare block of land. Once the materials arrived from New Zealand, they went to work – starting with building a well to have water. Over the next few months, they built a house for themselves and a resort with five huts and a common area for their guests.
If you have ever wondered what it’s like to build a new life on a remote island, this episode with give you the answer.
We also talk about what it’s like to live in paradise and the lessons Karen has learned along the way. And of course, we also had to talk about COVID and how that has disrupted their lives and how Karen overcame negative thoughts caused by uncertainty and being disconnected from family and friends and how she found a new calling as ‘the cake lady’.
