Celebrated author Pam Houston describes her extraordinary journey with Carl in this inspiring episode —from a childhood shaped by financial anxiety to finding solace and purpose in the natural world. Pam shares the remarkable story of how she bought her beloved ranch in Wyoming with just 4.7% down and a signed copy of her first book, the life lessons she learned from her father’s obsession with money, and how she discovered the true meaning of “enough.”

Along the way, Pam reflects on the power of risk-taking, the importance of saying "yes" to life’s unexpected opportunities, and the deep connection she feels to the land, her animals, and the places that have shaped her. Tune in for an episode filled with wisdom, warmth, and the reminder that sometimes, taking the biggest leap leads to the greatest rewards.
