The Arner Adventures Podcast
Hey there, we're Shannon + Gerry Arner, a minimalist couple driven by intentional living + adventure.

Listen along as we chat about life's challenges, share inspiring stories, + help you live with more intention + with less physical + mental clutter. Each episode is a step toward doing + being just a little bit better, for ourselves + the world around us. Life's an adventure after all! Come join us for the ride!
