Episode 80: From Trailer Park to Millionaire to Walking Away From It All

Jul 18

Episode Description:

We had the dream life. Big house in the suburbs. Private school tuition. Country club status. Two high-powered careers. On paper, it looked like we had arrived.

And then we walked away.

In this episode of Don’t Waste the Chaos, Kerri sits down with her most-requested guest (and husband), Terry Roberts, to unpack why they chose to leave behind everything they had built…money, comfort, success, for something radically different. This is the most personal, unfiltered conversation yet.

They talk about growing up broke, building wealth from scratch, burnout, marriage dynamics, ambition, faith, and the hard decisions behind leaving city life and starting over in the country. If you've ever wondered what success actually costs or what it really takes to protect your marriage, your peace, and your future, you need to hear this.

Tune into hear:

The backstory you never hear: From poverty and military service to building wealth without handouts or shortcuts.
A real look at burnout: The hidden toll of chasing more and why walking away was the only option.
Marriage under pressure: How their partnership survived the grind, the growth, and the hard resets.
Leaving the status quo behind: Why they gave up everything familiar for land, chickens, and quiet.
A practical decision-making framework: The simple question that’s guided every major life move for over a decade.
