In the adventures we seek out for ourselves, or the chances that we say yes to, deep down we know that things will change.
But we can never fully grasp how much they will change. An enthusiastic yes today will obviously start a domino effect, but where will the yes ultimately lead?
These are the seismic shifts we create for ourselves.
In 2021, Liesl packed up her home in Cape Town and moved to Sweden with her husband and young son. Leaving behind a house she adored, a successful career, her family and solid friendship structures, and even a non-profit she had started.
Why? Three years later, what are the knock on effects of Liesl Joubert’s choices.
What does life look like now for Liesl, her husband, Anton, and their son, Noah?
QUOTES:
"When I'm sad and he's like, 'I'm sad because I miss Auntie Rue,' and then he would say, 'I know, it's okay, I miss her too,' and then we both feel better."
