Building an Off-Grid Life in Bulgaria with Kayleigh & Phil Uden | Off Grid with the Udens

🎙️ Episode 10: Building an Off-Grid Life in Bulgaria with Kayleigh & Phil Uden In this honest and grounding episode of Soul Sufficient, I’m joined by Phil and Kayleigh from Off Grid with the Udens to explore what it really takes to leave conventional life behind and start again in rural Bulgaria. After facing financial pressure and a traumatic birth experience in the UK, Phil and Kayleigh realised the life they were living no longer aligned with their values. What followed was a journey into minimalism, van life, and eventually purchasing nearly two acres of land in Bulgaria for just £6,000 — where they are now building an off-grid future for their family. Together we dive into: 🌍 What triggered their decision to leave England 🇧🇬 Why they chose rural Bulgaria 🏡 Buying land as foreigners and navigating the legal process ☀️ Their current off-grid setup (solar, diesel heating, water systems) 🧱 Building a straw bale tiny home from scratch 👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 Raising children in a caravan while building 💸 Managing money, multiple income streams & living within their means 🛠 Why practical skills are more valuable than ever 🌿 The emotional reality of starting over Phil and Kayleigh speak openly about the challenges — language barriers, financial shifts, balancing parenting with building — but also the deep rewards of slowing down, learning practical skills, and raising children immersed in nature. This episode is a reminder that freedom doesn’t have to look perfect — it often looks like adaptation, teamwork, and the courage to try something different. If you’ve ever questioned the path you’re on, this conversation will inspire you to explore what’s possible. 🔗Connect with Kayleigh and Phil: YouTube:    / @offgridwiththeudens   Instagram: instagram.com/offgridwiththeudens Facebook: Off Grid with the Udens Support Them: https://ko-fi.com/offgridwiththeudens 🔗 Connect with Georgia Website: georgiakitson.com Instagram: instagram.com/freedomwithgeorgia Facebook: facebook.com/profile.php?id=61580298307637 YouTube: /@freedomwithgeorgia 🔗 Follow along Georgia and Jack’s journey living in Spain Instagram: instagram.com/thekitsonsoffgrid YouTube: /@thekitsonsoffgrid TikTok: tiktok.com/@thekitsonsoffgrid 🔗 Join my free community and meet like-minded people building freedom-based lives Hosted on Skool: skool.com/freedom-family-collective-2956 🔗 Find your dream off-grid home Website: offgridonly.co Instagram: instagram.com/offgridonly_europe Instagram: instagram.com/offgridonlyhomes If you loved this episode, please like, subscribe, share, and leave a review — it helps more people find the podcast.
