S2 E4 - Maria - Anceu Coliving - It's so healthy being with people, but when you are by yourself you forget that -

María is an interior decorator who loves working with her hands (painting, restoring furniture, diy...). She is from Galicia, northwestern Spain, and has been living at Anceu Coliving, a rural coliving in Spain, for the past year. She started her online business as an interior decorator 3 years ago, working remotely full time for the first time in her life. She loves the freedom it gives her but she also craves company so she is on her journey to find the sweet spot in between :) It's been a real joy sharing and exchanging experiences with Maria. We talk about the need to find balance between urban and rural surroundings, about the impact of short and longer stay on your coliving experience and on the community, about emotional safety and discovering ourselves more extroverts than we thought. We also touch upon the slight anxiety of living such safe spaces, the power of community on personal and professional growth as well as the health benefit of being around others, as a single and as a couple!
