What Alaska Taught Me About Living
I just returned from my week-long retreat in Juneau, Alaska. This trip had been on my bucket list for some time, and I was really looking forward to it. But not in an excited and anticipatory way, more of an "I desperately need space" kind of way.
You see, I used to travel and take time away from work regularly. Take time to seek adventure, do things I love, go places that inspire me. But I hadn't taken a trip like that in over a year.
If you've been following my story, you know I moved across the country in July 2021 from Providence, RI to Santa Barbara, CA. This move really did me in. I had naively underestimated the toll this move would take on my energy, my marriage, and my spirit.
When I shared how I was feeling with a friend about the recent move, she said, "give yourself a year." I scoffed at the idea, thinking, "yeah sure. How about 3 months, and I'll be back to my old self."
Well the verdict is in. She was 100% right. It took a year to feel like I've got a handle on my life again, and I can recognize my old self.
In this episode, you'll hear 10 Eye Opening realizations I had while traveling in Alaska, including:
- Why you should breathe really fresh air
- The life-giving power of dreaming
- And why you should touch a tree today
- + so many more!

Eye Opening Insights:
[00:03:45] You can't see your blindspots until you make a move. Learn why I recommend regularly doing a blind spot check.[00:05:40] Move your body. Every time I feel stuck, movement is the answer. Listen in to the one key distinction here.
[00:07:38] Create space in your mind + stop with all the inputs. Does that feel scary to you?
