The joy of less: what a small home can teach us about living well

In this episode, Katarina and Patrick explore the tender, grounded story by Camilla Dugonjic — an American writer living in rural Slovenia who reflects on the surprising gifts of small-home living.

Her piece, Life Lessons From a Small Home, opens a gentle conversation about simplicity, enoughness, belonging, emotional clarity, and the quiet spiritual grounding that comes from living with less.

Together, we talk about the beauty that reveals itself when space is limited, how family closeness becomes a daily rhythm, and why a smaller home can feel like a deeper life — warm, honest, and filled with meaning.
