Two long-time friends, Lis and Lisa.

Two urban lives.

One shared fantasy: to ditch the chaos and live off-grid in a yurt

(with good boots, linen sheets, and—let’s be honest—a flushable toilet)

This is survival with snacks

Self-reliance with sarcasm

And a friendship that’s built for the long haul

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

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 changeclimate, tech, culture, everything. And we feel caught between the world we’re in, the life we long for, and a future we can’t 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.

The moment before great change

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

We can see the world shifting.  We can taste the bitterness and the sweetness. We feel the wind in our faces and the sand in our eyes. 

We are trying to keep up, to make smart choices, to protect the future… but we have kids to raise, mortgages to pay and jobs to do.  It feels so big.

So where do we start?  By living The Verge Life: Getting skilled. Getting well. Getting ready.  Getting together.

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.

Part DIY manual, part comedy of errors, part Milan Catwalk meets Fountain Gate food court, part lifestyle brand, The Verge Life is GOOP meets Bunnings (and not knowing how to use a drill. Yet.).

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