This particular crossroads saw self-doubt and impostor syndrome arising again for me, and big questions about my path forward. In this raw and heartfelt episode, I take you behind the scenes of how I navigated this challenging phase, sharing the pivotal moments, mindset shifts, and the one powerful question that sparked my clarity and reignited my purpose.

Here's what you'll hear in this episode:

What would you do, even if you knew you WOULD fail?

You may have heard the question, 'What would you do if you knew you couldn't fail?' But the question that really cemented Dr. Natalie Barre's pivot from her neuropsychology career was flipping this question on its head to expecting and accepting the failure. Natalie knows we don't do things perfectly, she knew that as humans we all face setbacks and will fail. So even in the face of these, what career path would she take, knowing that she will fail time and time again and keep getting up everyday and trying again regardless. Her answer to this question set her on her career pivot from the safety of her stable, well paying career. Tune in to learn more from Dr. Natalie Barre.

Dr. Natalie Barre is a time management coach who helps working parents take control of their days so they can craft the life of their dreams. As a former neuropsychologist, Natalie is an expert in brain science and cognition, and uses this knowledge as the basis for her approach to time management, goal-setting, and self-care. She believes that work-life balance is attainable, and that we can choose our activities with intention and get the important work done without the hustle and burnout. When she’s not supporting hard-working humans to make real changes, she’s working in her graphic design business A Tactile Perception, spending time with her family, and eating chocolate.

As a qualified Mechanical Engineer, with High Distinctions from University, Daniel still felt like an Impostor in his engineering career working in mining & steelworks. He found himself staying in his comfort zone and not wanting to progress in his career. He felt out of his depth in this career and not worthy of the promotions he was encouraged to apply for.

It wasn't until, Marshy was gifted a book that completely changed the trajectory of his life. After reading this book, everything in his 'Math Brain' (as he describes it) clicked. He felt like he now had hope in his life, purpose and direction. Curiosity was ignited and a passion inside of him that he became obsessed with reading everything about personal finances and the stock market.

Tune in to hear about Marshy's two very distant crossroads moments in his career and how he specifically transitioned from a Mechanical Engineer to a Money Mentor, Investor and Entrepreneur. Daniel now works with entrepreneurs and high income earners who know how to make money but don’t know how to keep it. Daniel is also the host of the popular podcast ‘Money Mastery with Marshy’ and the creator of the ‘Fix your Finances’ and ‘Increase your Income’ challenges".

I have wanted to record this podcast or write a blog on this topic for so long and when there were a few people that started tagging me in different posts from people asking in groups & online communities about wanting tips for travelling and working on the road, I knew I had to do this in a podcast episode. I knew I had to get this information all out of my head, so that it could help or inspire others that are planning to work and travel or that it may inspire people who have it on their bucket list and want to learn how to make it happen.

For me it is such a broad question, asking for tips on travelling and working on the road – it’s broad because there are so many aspects and layers to this topic. There is the actual working while travelling combination and how to navigate that, how to structure your business and your calendar to support this adventure, the time management piece, there is always a whole lot of mindset pieces that come into play, such as the lead up and actually making it happen, navigating the complexities of living in a small house on wheel with a family of 4 during your trip, parenting and the FAMILY dynamics of working/travelling and managing a family with primary school aged kids.

Of course, there is the fun stuff such as the best places to go, what to see and explore, how long to stay in place, how to long to go for, etc. etc.

In this episode, I cover off on these topics:

There is A LOT of gold in the episode. As I said, there are so many aspects to this topic, please do leave some comments or any specific questions you have and I can answer them or I might even do a Part 2 to this, which I have had in mind already. If I can get your feedback or questions, that will help me to know what you want to hear more about on this topic, I can address those questions / topics.

I have poured so much into this episode, and I really hope it helps others with working and travelling.
