Pallah-From Sticks and Bricks to Life Unbound

Pallah Baker - Letting Go to Live Fully

[⇒ Watch Pallah's interview here]

For much of her life, Pallah walked between two worlds.

One foot was firmly planted in the expectations of the material world—career, bills, raising children, and saving for retirement. But the other had always reached toward something deeper.

From a young age, she’d felt drawn to the spiritual realm, a place of quiet knowing that whispered to her, even amid the noise of everyday life.  By the time her children were grown and stepping into their own lives, Pallah found herself at a crossroads. The freedom she’d long postponed in service to others was now hers.

And that persistent whisper grew louder:  “Pull up your roots."

At first, she wasn’t even sure what that meant. But as she sat with the message, it became clearer. It wasn’t just about geography—it was about anything keeping her stuck: debt, a house, a job, patterns of living. So she began the bold work of letting go.

She sold her home in New Hampshire and most of her belongings. Around the same time, she met and married her husband, and together they moved west to pursue a long-held dream: to live in the desert. Not knowing whether they were meant to be nomadic or settle down again, they chose a house—and life began to unfold.

Despite the concern of friends and colleagues who thought she’d lost her mind, Pallah felt deep peace. Her kids were excited for her. And her sense of guidance from Spirit only strengthened. When she asked for signs—safety, shelter, provision—they appeared. Items sold within a day. Shelter arrived in the form of a desert house next to a police officer. She spent her days walking the land and listening.

Over time, her coaching and creative work began to blossom. She moved again, this time into a canyon home where she overcame fears of the wild (snakes, tarantulas, and all) and turned a second building on the land into an Airbnb and sacred retreat space. The builder, it turned out, was also a pastor. The synchronicities kept affirming the path.

But soon, life got too full again. Between managing the Airbnb, coaching, her art, and the demands of daily living, the freedom she’d longed for was slipping away. Once more, Spirit whispered: “Let go.” If she wanted to travel, visit aging parents and scattered children, she’d need to release it all again.

And she did.

A year ago, Pallah sold everything—including the thriving business—and hit the road in an Airstream with her husband and dogs. She hasn’t looked back since. Life is simpler, quieter, and richer. They spend 80% of each day outdoors. With solar and composting systems, they’re self-sufficient. And with every mile, she’s deepened her connection to Spirit, nature, and herself.

Letting go wasn’t always easy. Every item held memories and meaning. But with each release, she felt lighter. “Many people say they’ll do something ‘someday,’” she says. “But I didn’t want to live that way anymore. I wanted to make someday today.”

Now, their home moves with them—from national parks to wildlife sanctuaries to old monasteries. The coming year is about connecting more with people, creating community wherever they go.

For Pallah, the real transformation wasn’t in the move. It was in the becoming.

“Nothing really changes if we don’t change,” she says. “You can get a new job or a new house, but if you haven’t healed the unrest inside, you’ll carry the same patterns into the next chapter. Real joy comes when we reconnect with the divine and live from that truth.”

Her favourite quote—shared by a blind Chippewa medicine woman named No Eyes—has stayed with her:

“Hell would be going to heaven when I die, and having God tell me all of the things I could have done if only I had tried.”

Now, she’s trying. She’s living. And she’s not waiting for someday anymore.
