    71: Slow Travel & Routine: Why Is it So Hard as Travel Creators?

    Text me your content win! Ever feel like you're traveling just to check off boxes—and missing the whole point? Same.  In today’s episode, we’re talking about slowing the heck down, building a travel lifestyle that actually feeds you, and being real about how tough routines are when you’re living on the road. I brought on two of my favorite humans, Candace and Logan—van lifers, creators, and truly intentional travelers who’ve been doing this since before it was cool (yep, pre-#VanLife). We dive into what slow travel really means (hint: it’s not just staying longer), how they built their creative routines from the road, and how to avoid being “that” tourist when you post about tiny towns online. ✨ This episode is a love letter to living slower, consuming less, and being deeply rooted in how we show up as travelers. We’re covering: The actual rules of intentional travel—no, really Why overposting can hurt local communities (and what to do instead) How to balance creating content without burning out Our favorite hippie routines (brushing your teeth with clay, anyone?)

    68: How to Stop Procrastinating and HIT Your Content Goals

    Text me your content win! Ever found yourself doing everything but the one thing you absolutely need to get done? Laundry folded, fridge organized, random Wikipedia pages explored—and your big project still untouched? You're not lazy—you're human. And in this episode, we’ll unpack why procrastination happens and how you can finally outsmart it. 🧠 What You'll Learn: The real psychological drivers behind procrastination (hint: it’s not just poor time management). How perfectionism and fear of failure feed the procrastination cycle. The concept of “emotional regulation” and why it matters more than willpower. Practical strategies to break the habit—and build momentum. 🔑 Key Takeaways: Procrastination is an emotional regulation problem, not a character flaw. Avoidance offers short-term relief but compounds stress in the long term. Awareness is the first step—recognize your triggers and emotional responses. Tools like the “10-minute rule,” setting low-friction goals, and self-compassion can radically change your behavior.📌 Resources Mentioned: Tim Urban’s Inside the Mind of a Master Procrastinator (TED Talk) “The Now Habit” by Neil Fiore Mindfulness-based practices for self-awarenessNEW: Watch our Youtube Channel: https://www.youtube.com/@TravelContentWriting Sign up for the 7-Day Newsletter Challenge: https://travel-content-writing.kit.com/c07db27158 Schedule a call with me: https://travelcontentwriting.hbportal.co/public/66ddf21fc4f45e00190a4e0e Schedule a coaching call LIVE on the podcast: https://travelcontentwriting.hbportal.co/public/6750837edf524d0027c155ef Want to be featured on the pod? https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLScrPYGf4l_wWSGQgul4vY-8DS-5Kloj0owstVehKn9r_oabRA/viewform Sign up to be the first to hear about my DIY Content Repurposing Course: https://travelcontentwriting.hbportal.co/public/6711a7aae9d903002c5f3c57/1-Inquiry_form AI Prompts to Grow Your Travel Content: https://www.tra...
