Anyone else tired of the "New Year, New Me" energy every January? Well in today's episode, instead of launching into another goal-based new years episode, we're going to be focusing on in what really matters: who we're wanting to become. We'll dig into how this shift in focus can make all the difference and provide you a roadmap to allow you to become the person you dream of by the end of 2024! This is a gooder!

You ever wish you could go back in time and tell the younger you what's going to happen in the future? And beyond that, teach them the lessons you know NOW so they dont have to struggle to learn them in the same way? Yea, me too.

In this week's episode, Im taking you on a trip down memory lane with me to walk through the 7 biggest "what I wish I knew" lessons that I wish I could teach my younger self (if only we had one of those time travelling cars...) These are the lessons that have shaped me into who I am today and still carry with me daily to navigate the world and I know some of them many of you will have faced as well.

There's only one thing as equally guaranteed to happen to you in life besides death: CHANGE. Yet its something that so many of us struggle to accept, invite and embrace in our lives.

We've all faced it on the daily and it can be hard to change (pun intended) our relationship with it to be one of positive acceptance rather than anxious resistance.

In this episode, Im going to break down some of my own tried and true strategies for how to accept and invite change into my life that are sure to help you with yours.

In this episode I cover:


My new home & all the changes
My summer inspiration to change up my life
Using movement for momentum
Figuring out what you're really afraid of
Stacking small changes to prep for bigger ones
Using worst case scenarios in your favour
Creating leverage for what you want
How reflection can help you look at change differently

+ much more!

Nowadays it seems the playbook rules for how to 'do business' are getting more and more prescriptive and rigid.

With cookie cutter offers, constant noise of the 'ultimate strategy you need NOW' and advice coming from all sides, building a business or project you love can go from an exciting passion-filled prospect to feeling overwhelming, stressful and even unfulfilling. We've made it all about strategy & hustle and in the process lost a lot of what used to make it feel human.

In today's episode Im joined by Chelsea Riffe, a master podcast strategist & mentor, host of the podcast In My Non-Expert Opinion, and female solo-travelling digital nomad, as well as being my own former podcast mentor. Chelsea knows a thing or two (jk a LOT) about whats it's like to get caught in the trap of the 'one size fits all' mentality, and has worked to create a life where her business fits around her LIFE - not the other way around. We dig into why bringing humanness, play, and fun into your business is essential to longterm sustainability and how embracing your 'suckiness' might just be the key to moving faster than you thought possible.

Chelsea is someone who's mastered leading life from her one-of-a-kind personality and utilizes that superpower, along with her real life and travel experiences, to connect with her audience and clients on a deeply human and authentic level.

In this episode we talk about:


How every opportunity feels fair game when you're travelling
Growing into a new identity and outgrowing your former environments
Learning how to grow one step at a time v.s. all at once
‘Embracing your suckiness’ & enjoying being a beginner
Bringing back ‘Being Human’ in our businesses
Expressing your personality beyond a single ‘niche’
Letting your LIFE take priority (and not just your business)
Becoming a ‘Video Game Character’: using archetypes to embody new energies ✨🎮
