One of the most exciting parts of moving to Italy for us was not only living in Florence, but all of the other incredible locations that were just a train ride or a short flight away. At a restaurant in Venice, we spoke to the son of a restaurant owner and he had a Scottish accent when he spoke English. It turns out he went to school there. Why? Because “You can’t be in the restaurant business and have interesting conversations with people if you don’t know the world.”

This episode is all over the place… except it isn’t. We’re going to talk about the power of having deep conversations with interesting people, allowing kismet to happen, and listening to the lessons the universe is throwing in your face.

In This Conversation We Cover: 

• [02:41] Exploring the world to become an interesting person
• [08:05] Being a citizen of the world
• [10:41] Knowing when there’s magic happening
• [13:10] Finding the teachers all around us

We’ve been listening to Abraham Hicks lately, and there was one talk that really resonated with us – specifically surrounding our recent move. Abraham says, “You’re not always consciously aware of your plan,” and that could not be more true. Looking back on our lives, you can see how you have planned for your current situation. We’ve talked about manifestation before, but this conversation is more about the unconscious ways you manifest your life – both positive and negative – and how taking ownership of that power allows you to control it, and bring it into alignment with your life.

In This Conversation We Cover: 

• [03:04] How you follow an unconscious plan
• [08:15] When your unconscious plan comes into alignment
• [11:55] Changing your reality with a positive thought
• [18:41] Taking ownership of your manifestation
• [22:17] The power of getting lost in a daydream

People need variety. Routines are great, but it’s the spaces where we break free from our routine and experience something new where life is truly lived. Environment plays a major role in this because it dictates so much of how you go about your day. For us, moving to Italy has been such a pattern interrupter that it feels as if we are living every moment as it happens. You don’t have to move to Italy to create the same effect; just take some time to acknowledge the contrast between the life you have and the life you imagine for yourself – and use that contrast to start inspiring action.

In This Conversation We Cover: 

• [03:43] The difference your environment makes to how you feel
• [11:31] Being fulfilled vs. being empty
• [14:30] Shifting your environment by defining your dream life
• [18:45] Finding clarity in the contrast

As we prep our move to Italy, many people have reached out to say how jealous they are or that they are cheering us on for being vulnerable about how hard this is. Many of those people say that they could never do what we are doing because it’s too scary. That has me thinking about how fear often holds us back from doing what we truly want to do. It wasn’t easy for us to do this, but we have to remind ourselves every day that it could work out even better than we imagine it. You can get there too.

In This Conversation We Cover: 

• [02:46] When fear paralyzes you
• [05:36] The moments that created massive growth in my life
• [08:40] Getting comfortable with discomfort in order to grow
• [10:10] Acknowledging the unknown
• [13:59] How we’re designed to grow
