She Gave Up Everything to Live As a Modern-Day Hunter-Gatherer w/ Miriam Lancewood #168
Most people fantasize about escaping the modern world—this woman actually did it.
In this week’s episode, host Kim Anderson sits down with Miriam Lancewood, international bestselling author and wilderness explorer, whose life story reads like a modern-day survival epic.
Miriam and her husband Peter walked into the wilds of New Zealand in 2010 with no technology, no back-up plan, and a big question: What happens to mind and body when you live far away from civilization? That one question shaped their next seven years—and changed their lives forever.
You’ll hear about the life skills it takes to truly live off the land, what it means to hunt your own food after growing up vegetarian, and why boredom might be one of the greatest teachers of all. Miriam also shares the story of their nomadic lifestyle across Europe, settling in the Bulgarian mountains, and the deep clarity that only nature can provide.
In this episode, you’ll learn:
- What it really takes to survive in the wilderness without modern tools or tech
- The unexpected truths about hunting, solitude, and slowing way down
- Why living with nature transforms your body, mind, and relationship
If you've ever dreamed of escaping the chaos and returning to something more primal, this episode is for you. Tune in—you might just walk away rethinking the way you live.
