A storytelling podcast about harnessing your intuition. The spontaneous decisions you make when logic says no. The fear you walk through anyway. The careers you outgrow, identities you shed, and the versions of yourself you never saw coming. This isn’t the highlight reel. Each episode is an unfiltered collection of real-life stories from a life lived in motion. From solo adventures, van life chapters, and long-haul truck driving across the USA, to starting over and backpacking the world while figuring it out in real time. Go With Wild is a reminder that your intuition often knows the way before you do. When life doesn’t go as planned, trust your inner compass and go anyway.

    Ep 1: The Art of Going Anyway | Intuition, Burnout, Van Life & Starting Over

    Welcome to Episode 1 of Go With Wild: The Art of Going Anyway with Grace Theodor! In this very first episode, I’m sharing the story behind this podcast, why I created it, and the unexpected journey that brought me here. I take you through my life growing up in Omaha, Nebraska after my family came to the United States as Sudanese refugees just one week after 9/11, learning English, and how those early experiences shaped the way I see the world today. From earning my first six-figure income in travel nurse recruiting to experiencing burnout, leaving everything behind for van life, becoming an over-the-road truck driver, traveling to 49 states and 20 countries, and navigating one of the hardest seasons of my life after losing my dad, the end of a tough relationship, and getting fired all within the same week.. this episode is the beginning of the story you’ve never heard online. We also dive into one of my favorite topics: intuition. Drawing on the research of neuroscientist Dr. Tara Swart, we explore the science behind intuition, why your brain and body are constantly gathering information beneath your awareness, and how learning to trust yourself can lead to better decisions in your career, relationships, and everyday life. I’ll also walk you through the simple decision-making exercise I’ve personally used when making some of the biggest choices of my life. This podcast isn’t just about travel. Travel is simply the backdrop. It’s about reinventing yourself, making courageous decisions, recovering from setbacks, embracing uncertainty, and intentionally creating a life that feels aligned with who you are. If you’ve ever felt stuck, questioned your career, dreamed about solo travel, van life, or starting over, or wondered whether your intuition has been trying to tell you something, this episode is for you.
