In talking with many other Digital Nomads, we seem to tend to all go to the same places, hang out in groups and packs, and general do the me too kind of travel.

A friend asked me why I travel, and I tried to give my answer as to why I do it.

I travel because it gives me the familiar feeling of being an outsider.

Listen to today's podcast and hear more about the reasons why, in one of my more personal and authentic episodes.

You haven't heard of Imposter Syndrome? You most likely have it, as most people seem to have it to some degree.

It's that thing where you feel no matter how successful you are at something (often business), you don't really believe you're "good enough" and people are going to find out you're a fraud, and you'll be exposed as a charlatan, and you'll lose everything.

Seems healthy enough? Ironically, the people who don't seem to have this issue are usually the ones who really should!

Listen to today's podcast for ways to lessen this nonsense in your brain so you can figure out that you actually are good enough and deserving.

Today I wanted to talk about the necessity of therapy and having an outlet when living as a Digital Nomad or an entrepreneur and business owner.

I would encourage you to reach out to someone outside your normal sphere. Whatever works for you…whether a therapist, mentor, coach, or other kind of person who doesn't have a biased interest (such as a family member)…reach out to someone you can turn to for help sorting through "stuff" for optimal mental and emotional assistance.

Even laying the thoughts out there and getting your stuff out can help you process that stuff and keep you on the right track.

In today's episode, I'm reading from a book I've been getting a lot out of, and thought I would share something important with you here today.

The book is called Mindset by Carol S. Dweck, PhD. I opened it to this section while on a quick break, and found it useful and applicable to me right now.

Give a listen as I read a page from this book that talks about a common problem that women have in everyday situations of daily life.

An impromptu episode from the beach in Playa del Carmen Mexico. Joined by previous NomadMe Podcast guest Mariza Montiero! (Episode 55: Cryptocurrency)

Getting stuck doing the same thing the same way is a situation I've been keeping myself in with some of my businesses. I use NomadFly as an example of how I need to simplify the offer and strategy, rather than the complications I've been adding for a variety of reasons.

Mindset and copywriting have a ton to do with this also, and you can hear in this episode how this new change has really lit the fire again after getting into too much of a routine back in Bangkok.

I keep a few negative people on my friend's list to help me. It doesn't always work, but the people who are constantly negative about everything in the world (especially about things that don't even affect them) can be useful as a reminder to NOT BE LIKE THAT.

It takes a bit of work to not let it drag you down, and you definitely don't want to keep too many of this type of person in your circle. You don't want to become that.

Listen today to hear some examples of how I deal with these people and exercises to make life a much more fun adventure through the power of positivity.

I never quite understand how people can spend so much time hating and spreading negativity.

Spreading positivity is one of my core values, yet there always seems to be a couple of dickheads in any crowd.

Listen to today's podcast to learn how best to deal with, think about, and cope with haters, dickheads, and negative people.

Being rejected by people you hold dear is one of the more traumatic events for digital nomads. People who are close and don’t understand the appeal of your chosen lifestyle will reject you and try to hold you back to their own standard of living.

Listen today to the story of my expected life’s blueprint, how I’ve learned to deal with it, and how to get on with life regardless of those who try holding you back.
