051: FI Wasn't the Finish - Stephanie Myers + Gillian Batt | Our Family Invests
Description
What if financial independence wasn’t the end of the story, but the beginning of a more meaningful one?
In this episode, we sit down with Stephanie Myers + Gillian Batt, the couple behind Our Freedom Years, who reached financial independence in their 30s and 40s, sold nearly everything they owned, and spent four years traveling the world with their two dogs.
Their journey took them from Toronto to Singapore to dozens of countries across Europe, Asia, and Latin America. Along the way, they discovered that real wealth is connection, community, time, and purpose.
We talk about how they reached FI while living abroad, the reality of life as full time nomads, the loneliness that surprised them, and how they transitioned from adventure to impact through volunteer work, dog rescue, and serving their local community.
In This Episode:
• How Stephanie + Gillian built financial freedom abroad
• What global travel taught them about wealth and belonging
• The mindset shift from adventure to purpose
• How they found their way back to community
• Why “freedom of purpose” matters at every stage
