As a digital nomad, it is crucial for you to be aware of how the matrix works so that you can overcome your limiting beliefs. In today's episode, I will define what it means to be in the matrix and how much it can affect our everyday lives.Â
I will also share the most impactful experiences that encouraged me to escape the matrix to become a digital nomad and how you can do it too!

When I started my digital nomad journey, one of the first questions I would get from my family members, my boss, and friends was “what about benefits?”. Employment benefits are often associated with stability which is why people around you might ask you this question. Today, I take a dive into the psychology behind this question and how you can live your digital nomad life while still having the benefits. \

Today, I discuss why being paid to travel is not the same as becoming a digital nomad. I go in depth on the meanings of getting paid to travel and what digital nomadism truly is. Many people assume that the only way this can be accomplished is by working in the travel or hospitality industry, but that is not true.Â
I believe that I can help you from wasting your time by sharing my journey in the many positions that allowed me to travel but, unfortunately, did not fulfill my dreams of being a true digital nomad.

In this episode, I discuss how to handle judgment from others about your digital nomad dream life. I discuss the ways you can compassionately approach the judgment. Whether you have been a digital nomad or are thinking about it, the lifestyle is so new to our society that judgment and side eyes will be inevitable. I go into depth on why people judge in a human evolutionary way that will allow you to see it from a logical sense.Â
Judgment will come with the territory but what is not okay, is to allow this to stop you from pursuing or continuing your alternative lifestyle of a digital nomad.

In this episode I get super super vulnerable and share the mind hacks to be able to free myself from my childhood trauma. I go into how I had to do a deep dive into the shadow work to be able to analyze and accept the moments from my childhood that really hurt me and were holding me back. Being able to free myself through shadow work has freed me from limiting beliefs and helped me embrace relationships that used to scare me and business and money mindsets.Â
I can confidently say that if I didn’t do these types of shadow work to be able to work through these mind blocks I wouldn’t have been able to have such healthy relationships and a strong business.Â

In this episode I will take you step by step on what being coached to become a digital nomad will look like. Throughout my program I have been able to help dozens of people get over their fears and whatever is holding them back from becoming a digital nomad to living the lifestyle from anywhere in the world.
By having myself and many other like minded people who are cheering you along the way of breaking out of the matrix to create your own business you’ll feel super supported and inspired. Even though you might feel the fear of doing something different than the rest of society, you will feel empowered, organized, guided, directed and ready to accomplish the business you’re set out to create in my program.Â
I’ve helped countless people start from being confused and hopeless to being full on entrepreneurs in the matter of months. The tools and the resources will be laid out for you, and this lifestyle is possible for anyone, so at the end of the day it’s all up to you and how badly you want it.Â

My life changed entirely when I booked my one-way ticket to Thailand 8 years ago on October 22nd, 2013. In honor of my 8-year travel anniversary, I'm sharing with you all the steps it took for me to get to where I am today. Throughout the years I've been able to travel through over 60 countries. Learning each step of the way from the world by working the multitude of jobs there are to be worked as a digital nomad.Â
My diverse skill set throughout the years brought me so much experience that I now get the honor to share with you. Throughout the years I've worked abroad in Thailand, worked as a contractor in Costa Rica, worked as a remote employee throughout Brazil, Ecuador, and much more. Brings me to my final destination where I reside now on the Island of Gods... Bali, Indonesia. I help and empower people to focus on one skill to be able to work from anywhere in the world. I'm living my dreams and I want to help you live yours.
This isn't a story about luck, privilege, or having everything figured out. It's about taking scary risks, trusting yourself before you feel ready, and creating opportunities where none seem to exist.
