#059 - Is dating challenging when living in a tiny home? What are some of the realities of tiny house living? What's it REALLY like?
Realities of living in a small spaceWhat itās REALLY like to manage your resources, like power, water, and toiletsChallenges when it comes to growing foodDating when living in a tiny homeAll about Marieās creative building projectsā¦ and lots more.
From personal experience, it's amazing in so many ways (most of the time). However, it's not always rainbows and butterflies - there are plenty of interesting, and sometimes challenging or inconvenient realities that you only get to discover when living in a tiny home.
Marie Beringer is a tiny houser originally from France, and is living in Auckland, New Zealand. Marie built her tiny house 5 years ago and loved it so much that she changed her career and recently became a fully qualified carpenter.
Sheās currently building a shepherd hut with her best friend and documenting every step on her YouTube channel, giving building tips and sharing the failures as well.
The goal is for people to see that woodwork/building is not that hard and everyone can give it a crack.
Marie was on the show back in episode 24 and her DIY story is inspiring. Iāve asked her to come back on the show for some real talk, and share more about her experiences with some of the realities of tiny house living.

#057- Today we're talking all about composting toilet experiences of the Nature Loo 650 with Anthony Hill, a tiny houser based in the Northern Rivers of NSW (Bundjalung Country). He grew up in the coastal town of Coffs Harbour and spent nearly half his life traveling and living overseas.
It was here that he became engaged in environmental and social issues joining discussion groups, running events, and producing a radio show with a friend. His interest in alternative living and food growing became quite an obsession and he dreamed of, one day, living off-grid back home in Australia.
Anthony was on the show back in episode 13 with his partner Kirra, sharing all about their tiny house journey. Iāve invited Anthony back this time to chat about their experiences with using the Nature Loo 650 composting toilet.
In this conversation, we talk about:
The main reasons for choosing a composting toiletHow the Nature Loo 650 worksAll about emptying, cleaning, smell, and ventilation The importance of understanding the Microbiome and having a āright relationshipā with natureSome lessons from using a composting toiletAdvice for tiny housers looking into which tiny toilet option is right for themā¦ and lots more.

You've been asking me for months...
"Hey Lucy, when are you doing Season 2 of the podcast?"
Well, the suspense is almost over!
After taking a good chunk of last year off to simply LIVE and be present in my first year of tiny life, it felt important for me to take space and be immersed in it for myself, without capturing everything on camera to share as content for the show and beyond.
Now that I've well and truly settled into this lifestyle, I'll be sharing more of my experiences and journey with you next year on the pod, as well as here and other social channels.
There are some big life changes on the horizon in Tiny land for me next year, and part of that means I'll be back behind the mic bringing you more awesome Tiny House Conversations!
You'll get to hear from more Tiny House builders, some of your familiar favourites in the Aussie tiny house space, some new and old fave Tiny Housers, other experts, and of course, yours truly, sharing more about what's happening in my own Tiny life...
...so you can soak up all that tiny goodness, insights, tips, stories, experiences, mistakes, mishaps, and more, to help you along the way on your Tiny path.
If you're a Tiny Houser, Tiny Builder, or other business with relevant experience, products, or services that align with the Tiny House lifestyle and would be of interest + value to the Tiny community, and you'd love to join me on the show, DM me or...
Head to www.tinyhouseconversations.com/story and share your details there.
Plus, stay tuned early next year for some more exciting announcements about where my tiny journey is headed next, so I can take you along for the ride. This may or may not involve another tiny house!
