Stop Waiting 4 Friday

I’ve been very open about my therapy journey because I grew up in an environment where therapy was for pussies.

No one talked about therapy while I was growing up and it ever came up that meant somebody was crazy or had “lost their mind”

Well call me crazy as hell because therapy definitely opened up so much space for healing in me and I’ve said it once and I’ll say it again … okay let me stop lying, I’ve said it HELLA TIMES and I’ll say it again …

Take y’all behind to therapy if you need to. So let’s figure it out together … Do you even really need therapy?

After spending a day with Chyna in Ubud, Bali it felt like I was destined to meet here! We talked about so much and eventually I found out that she is a wholllleee therapist, singer, sound healer, basically a force to be reckoned with and I had to get her on the podcast to walk us through the mind of a therapist

Have you ever thought about sky diving or wondered how the hell do people build up the courage to jump out of moving airplanes? I definitely have so to clear the air I invited my friend Randy aka Mr. Always Workin’ to give us insight into skydiving. The average person tries skydiving MAYBE once in their lifetime but Randy has dived 105 times and is on a mission to hit his next milestone of diving 100 more times in the next 4-5 months! I have questions and Randy has the answers let’s talk about skydiving and what jumping from airplanes can teach us!

I was focused on working on my abs in preparation for hot girl summer and after sitting down with @bria_ashley I am now contemplating motherhood 🤰🏾🤦🏾‍♀️

Not only did Bria pack up her bags and move abroad ready to take on a new adventure across the world, but she found out that she was expecting shortly after her arrival to her first country abroad 😳 She shared her experience on having a natural birth all the way in Bali and I’m not kidding when I say she completely shifted my views on motherhood! I was set on being the fun traveling aunt but now the fun traveling mom doesn’t sound too bad 👀😂

I am so excited for this new season of @sw4friday podcast! So many guests from all around the world sharing and dropping so many gems 💎

Yes, it’s too hard, yes it’s impossible, yes you are a failure, yes it will take forever .. If that is what you believe then yes, all of those things are true. Most people set themselves up for failure before they even start the task because they’ve already convinced themselves that they won’t succeed at it or it’s out of their reach. Let’s talk limiting beliefs and how I managed to overcome my own in order to live my dreams of full time travel.

Growing up as an African American what did you learn or know about Africa? The first thing that immediately comes to mind from my childhood and early years of hearing about Africa is slavery and poverty. After spending 2 months in East Africa I’m sharing my experiences from the viewpoint of an African American.

Over the last year meditation has become an important practice in my life. It’s deeply rooted into my daily routine. As a traveler, things are always changing around me. Some days are fun. Some days are peaceful. Some days are chaotic. Some days are exhausting. Before I set of on my daily journeys and adventures I read this to myself out loud. Some may think it’s silly, but it keeps me confident and feeling safe on my travels, especially as a solo traveler.

Crazy tuk tuk rides, the hustle and bustle of Colombo, the capital city of Sri Lanka, beautiful dark skinned shades, racist tourist, curry so spicy that you can’t feel your tongue, and weather too hot to wear a wig, this episode is all about my first impressions of The Teardrop country of Sri Lanka!

Traveling allows you to step outside of your comfort zone and really experience the world. Before traveling I could not imagine how vast the world is in people, culture, landscapes, amongst so many other things. The things that I have seen, experienced, and learned around the world are truly breathtaking and you can watch all of the Youtube, TikTok, and Instagram videos that you’d like, but there are some things that photos and videos do no justice. Things that you can only truly experience through travel and immersing yourself into a world outside of your own.

If we are all liking, commenting, and subscribing to all of this travel content and admiring these destinations and experiences, then what’s holding so many people back from living these experiences on their own? On this episode I’m discussing the top excuses that people have for not traveling and how to overcome them!

By the time you are listening to this I’m already on my flight 9,316 miles across the world and ready to start another journey of traveling around the world.

So this time around a few things will be different:

1. I learned so much from last year! Prior to that I had never lived abroad. Now I’m confident, I’m more fearless, and I have found my rhythm.

2. I’m single.

3. I have no return date to the US. Before I gave myself a one year deadline and although it wasn’t actually planned I still made it back for that one year mark.

On this podcast episode I’m revealing which country I’ll be moving to and tips on how I pick which country to move to for long term travel.

On this episode I am sharing a hard truth about this type of transition. The things that no one wants to hear! If this makes you uncomfortable then this lifestyle is probably not for you ... If you still feel a fire after listening, then you are in the right place!
