How a 65-foot evergreen helped us break the rules—and make the right choice.

In this Summer Short, Ryan shares a personal story about buying a house that broke every rule on their must-have list—except one. It was the only home that made them feel something.

At the center of this decision? A towering evergreen tree, a surprising emotional compass, and the lesson that sometimes the best choices don’t check the boxes—they shift your perspective entirely.

You’ll hear how:

  • An emotional goal shaped a major life decision
  • A backyard tree changed everything
  • Letting go of “shoulds” led to a sense of peace, creativity, and connection

Plus, Vic and Ryan offer a coaching reflection on how naming the feeling you want can unlock better choices—not just in home buying, but in life.

🎧 Listen in if you’ve ever faced a big decision and wondered: Am I choosing what’s right… or what just looks good on paper?
