KEY TAKEAWAYS
- A truth seeker is someone who finds freedom from within, to be who they are authentically, to be their true self. There’s many different teachings, religions, philosophies, and theories about life and the universe, but what’s the real truth? For me it’s about walking my own path and following my own path in order to figure out that truth.
- I’ve had to overcome my fear of shame, of failure and of uncertainty to embark on the van lifestyle. It felt like I had to deconstruct and reconstruct myself, it was really difficult. I also had to overcome the fear of loneliness because I often stay in remote places a lot of the time by myself in nature. This helped me become independent which was very rewarding because I can now be in relationship to other people authentically. The third challenge was figuring out all the little things in order to make my van lifestyle work and make it comfortable and feel at home with myself living in such a tiny space.
- I left a corporate life with a background in engineering and decided not to go back to that lifestyle and do something I’m really passionate about, which was travelling. It’s not a career path, but it led me there by doing something I love and am passionate about. It doesn’t feel like work.
- I think you feel lonely because you are dependent on other people, you want to constantly be surrounded by people because you’re uncomfortable being with yourself. You don’t know yourself, you don’t know who you are. When you learn to be comfortable with yourself and your own best friend you don’t have to be dependent on other people, you can entertain yourself. Now I love to be alone so much, it’s more of my comfort zone now than spending time with other people because when you spend time with other people you often have to compromise. You have to strike a balance.
BEST MOMENTS
‘You can learn from other people but you don’t have to follow their footprints or their exact path to find your truth because your truth is unique to you.’
‘My lifestyle has taught me a lot about myself, not just the freedom it’s given me but all the challenges that I had gone through and the lessons I had to learn that helped me to know who I am. It’s like building muscles but for your courage by pushing yourself out of your comfort zone.’
‘Home is really within yourself, it’s not anywhere outside of you.’
‘Your heart is the compass which guides you home to yourself.’
ABOUT THE GUEST

Living her life purpose, Vi helps others to find their path of freedom to live their authentic selves because only then can we all be living a fulfilled life of happiness.

ABOUT THE HOST
Gavin Scott is a born entrepreneur with a passion for start up and scale up. He has over 20 years real estate experience in investment and development.
Gavin says: Over the years I have discovered that mindset is everything. Now, that might sound obvious, but it is! You see the number of awoken minds are very few in reality. Whilst acknowledging mindset is key it is absolutely different from utilising, influencing, impacting and effecting great change, for yourself, your loved ones, friends, colleagues and the wider public.
Why?
Like most of us I have had many ups and downs. I want to share the lessons learnt and promote a better environment for all, internally and externally!
How?
Through sharing my own experiences and hosting some fabulous individuals including some big household names to discuss key topics around mindset and the success formulas I hope the listener will become inspired to create space for change for betterment in their lives. I aim to inspire change by encouragement, not by force. I intend to inspire by education, not by regulation.
