Today’s show is all about learning how to downsize and organize any size space.

Felice Cohen became famous when a video of her 90 square foot Manhattan apartment went viral on YouTube. Despite suffering a panic attack on her first night in the loft, Felice quickly found that living small had massive benefits. But you have to know the answer to the question: “what is you’re why”?

I really like this episode because we talk not just about the outer game, like the tips and techniques, but we also talk about inner game: how to get past the criticism that you may face from others when deciding to downsize.

How to deal with the haters:

We’ve all faced skepticism from family and friends when we tell them about our tiny dreams. This was certainly true for Felice in 2007, before tiny houses were really “a thing”. But now that her famous apartment video has over 20 million views, I ask Felice how to deal with all the negativity that shows up in the comment section and in person at festivals around the country.

“I’m not telling anybody to live tiny. All I’m saying is how great it was for me and how it changed my life and gave me so many opportunities” – Felice Cohen (click to tweet)
