    How to Trust the Unknown & Let Go of Control | Kristy Halvorsen

    What if you stopped trying to predict your future and simply trusted the next step? In this episode of Inspired Travels with Patti, I sit down with Kristy Halvorsen, author of The Perfect Unfolding, to talk about what happens when we let go of the need to have everything figured out. Kristy spent nearly nine years traveling in an Airstream, often without knowing where she would go next, and she calls this way of living “coddiwompling” — moving toward an unknown destination and allowing life to unfold. We talk about trusting your intuition, navigating fear and uncertainty, learning from experiences that initially look like mistakes, and practicing what Kristy calls “radical gentleness” with ourselves. In This Episode What “coddiwompling” means and how it can apply to more than travelLearning to trust your gut, intuition, and “tickles of your soul”How to keep moving when life feels chaotic or completely falls apartWhy Kristy believes there are no mistakes — only experiences we can learn fromPracticing radical gentleness instead of judgment, expectations, and labelsWhy letting go of goals and predictions can create more freedom in life About Kristy Halvorsen Kristy Halvorsen sold everything in 2017, left her firefighting career, and began traveling in her Airstream. Her nearly nine years of nomadic travel became the inspiration for her bestselling book, The Perfect Unfolding: Seven Years of Life-Changing Solo Adventure, One Year That Broke Me Open. She is also a mentor and coach who helps people strip away the expectations, labels, beliefs, and conditioning that can keep them from living freely.
