We first met Trent and Allie in 2018 when we bonded over van life. Now, they’re building a home from the ground up in the mountains while raising a young family, all while documenting the journey on their YouTube channel. In this episode, Trent and Allie share the personal decisions that have shaped their path, how they’ve navigated major life changes together, and what it’s been like to take risks, build a YouTube channel, and raise a family. They also open up about filming and sharing life’s toughest moments, postpartum depression and how loss has reshaped their perspective.

Intentionally Disturbing

Intentionally Disturbing

Join me on this podcast as I navigate the murky waters of human behavior, current events, and personal anecdotes through in-depth interviews with incredible people—all served with a generous helping of sarcasm and satire. After years as a forensic and clinical psychologist, I offer a unique interview style and a low tolerance for bullshit, quickly steering conversations toward depth and darkness. I honor the seriousness while also appreciating wit. I’m your guide through the twisted labyrinth of the human psyche, armed with dark humor and biting wit.
