From Tourist to Local: Reinventing Yourself

59. Is It Really Your Comfort Zone If You're Not Comfortable Anymore?


Listen Later

Big life changes can feel like stepping into a new city without a plan... but what if staying "comfortable" is actually keeping you small?

In two weeks, I'll be technically homeless, and I've never been more excited. After months of ignoring the universe's whispers about travel, life got LOUD and forced my hand. Now I'm taking my podcast management business on a 6-month adventure across the world to prove to myself that I can really work from anywhere, and that location freedom is something is totally attainable.

This adventure isn't a vacation; it's a real-time case study. Can I really help entrepreneurs build businesses and podcasts that work from anywhere if I haven't tested it myself? From managing client calls across time zones to working from chaotic family homes, I'm documenting the unglamorous truth behind the digital nomad dream.

Sometimes the life you want is on the other side of temporary discomfort. What nudges have you been ignoring?
