Shanna Trenholm
Shanna writes life: examined, a warm and thoughtful newsletter about creativity, slow living, and paying closer attention to the beauty and questions of everyday life.
Shanna is the writer behind life: examined, a reader-supported newsletter filled with reflections on creativity, slow living, curiosity, and intentional life. Through essays, photos, and occasional poetic pieces, she invites readers to pause, notice more, and explore life’s bigger questions with honesty and openness. She has also written about moving to Portugal and the more than five-year chapter she spent there, a journey that continues to shape her perspective on place, change, and living deliberately. Now based in France, her writing feels like a thoughtful conversation: welcoming, reflective, and grounded in the idea that a creative, meaningful life is built by paying attention.
Through their Youtube channel, Instagram, and digital guides, Eugenia and Pepe document the realities of DIY building, gardening, and living everyday life intentionally.
