Two long-time friends, Lis and Lisa.

Two urban lives.

One shared fantasy: to be ready, and skilled, for “anything” - blackout, breakdown, or brunch.

(Oh and if it ends up in communal living on a dreamy country estate - we won’t be mad about it! We’ve already drawn up the plans.)

This is survival with snacks

Self-reliance with sarcasm

And a friendship that’s built for the long haul

Join us as we fumble our way toward a more self-reliant life

Podcast coming soon

…While still packing school lunches, navigating perimenopause, running businesses, dating, and googling “what’s the difference between a nail and a screw”.

We set each other challenges, skill up slowly, and share the wins, the failures, and the very real mess in between.

We’re living in a moment of wild, accelerating change - climate, tech, culture, everything. And we feel caught between the world we’re in, the life we long for, and a future we don’t know how to plan for.

So, we’ve stopped just talking about it… and we’re starting to do something about it.

We find ourselves ***living* *on the Verge.***

Can you feel it too?

The moment before great change

the moment where survival, transformation, and bravery experiment with whats possible.

Are you On The Verge, too?

This is for you if you're asking things like:

Should I be learning to grow tomatoes or build an emotional toolkit first?
Is it weird to want a go-bag, a compost bin, and a better bra - all at the same time?
Can I Google “how to rewire a lamp” and also “how to overthrow late-stage capitalism”… in one afternoon?
Am I the only one who feels the world shifting but still has to pack school lunches, answer emails and book a mammogram?
Why do I low-key want to start a commune with my friends and just grow kale and boundaries?

If you’ve been feeling the pull - toward self-reliance, slowness, skill-building, and something deeper (but still funny), welcome.

You’re not losing your mind.
You’re just living on the verge.

Part DIY manual, part comedy of errors, part weird AF lifestyle brand, The Verge Life is GOOP meets Bunnings (and not knowing how to use a drill. Yet.).

It’s serious about what matters.
And ridiculous in all the right ways.

Also, Verge means penis in French 🤷. Thought we should be transparent about that.

Straddling life skills, fashion, health, beauty, politics, DIY and survivalism, The Verge Life explores what it really takes to be a modern, messy woman in a modern, messy world.
