If you have feelings of losing security, inadequacy and overall anxiety, they can hold you back and keep you in a setting where you are living to work. My guest for episode 21, Steph Coombes, takes us through tips for transitioning into a life where we can work to live. Steph is a creative entrepreneur and agriculture advocate.

Steph joined me from Australia, where we swapped stories of being millennials in today's western society. She shares how her nana and great grandmother's experiences afforded her parents and now her the opportunity to find her passion in life. She is fortunate not to have survival as her primary focus in life.

She talks about being an introvert and how early in life, her fear of being noticed hurt her success. In her college years, she had the lightbulb moment where she realized her professors, or lecturers in Australia, are simply people who put their pants on one leg at a time and drink coffee just like the rest of us. Turning her fear into an opportunity to learn from experts has given her the ability to make connections and build her gypsy career.

In 2020, Steph made the difficult decision to leave a toxic work environment that provided her more money, more perks and a great living wage for a year of finding her passion and living a healthier life mentally and physically. She leaped.

Steph and I had such a great conversation that I couldn't fit it all into one episode, so subscribe to find out more about Steph and her adventures.
