Episode 61: Florida Move Check-In: Sunshine, Gators, and Growth
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
In this episode, we’re doing a real-life check-in after four months of living in Florida—what’s surprised us, what’s been harder than expected, and what’s actually been better than we imagined.
We talk through the biggest lifestyle shifts, including adjusting to the heat, navigating daily storms, and how living near the theme parks has changed the way we experience places like Walt Disney World Resort and Universal Orlando Resort.
We also get into:
• The real cost of living vs expectations
• Building community from scratch (and why it’s harder than you think)
• How our kids’ lives and routines have changed
• The reality of Florida weather—from sunshine to storms
• What we’d do differently if we moved again
If you’ve ever thought about moving to Florida—or just wondered what it’s really like once the “vacation feeling” wears off—this is an honest, behind-the-scenes look at life after the move.
