If your brain feels like a web browser with 50 tabs open, this walk is for you. Today, I’m navigating the literal and metaphorical ebbs and flows of living with heart failure while ringing in Chapter 36. I’m out here moving my body and unpacking why "talking nice" to yourself isn't just fluffy advice…it’s a survival strategy.

The Summary:
We often talk about "grinding" and "hustling," but what happens when your body forces you to pause? In this episode, I’m sharing the unfiltered reality of navigating health challenges while maintaining a digital nomad lifestyle. We discuss the necessity of closing mental tabs to gain clarity, the strategic importance of accountability partners, and why even a little bit of SpongeBob can be good for the soul.
