In this episode, we explore the depth travel has given back to me, not solely in the places I’ve seen, but in the ways it’s shaped me. Through stories ranging from Africa, across South America, SE Asia, the Middle East, and beyond…I’m sharing how travel has molded my relationship with happiness, identity, uncertainty, freedom, and who I actually am underneath all the roles and routines.
While this episode certainly shares a variety of stories from places I’ve explored all around the world, my intention behind it isn’t really about travel itself, but more so what happens when you leave the environments & expectations that have shaped you and finally get to see what's true for you. It's about realizing there’s no one right way to live, that happiness was never in the external bucket list you were told to chase growing up, and that the version of you who comes alive when you're somewhere new might actually be the most honest & true version of you there is.
In this episode, we explore:
→ Why the world isn't always as it seems, and how much of what we believe is just inherited conditioning
→ How witnessing so many different ways of living blew up the rules I thought were fixed
→ Why your nervous system comes with you in your carry-on, no matter where you go
→ How travel reveals who you actually are when the roles and routines fall away
→ How to keep the most alive & expanded version of yourself around even after your trip ends
Travel has shown me the world and continues to provide me with life-long memories, but more than anything, it’s shown me myself.
