About this listen
In episode 84, I’m sharing my journey from working traditional corporate jobs to becoming a full-time digital nomad. If you had told me years ago that I’d be running my own business while traveling the world, I would’ve laughed. But here I am—and today, I’m breaking down how I made it happen.
We’ll dive into:
- The turning points that led me to explore remote work.
- How I transitioned from corporate jobs to a flexible, location-independent career.
- The biggest lessons I learned—what worked, what didn’t, and what I’d do differently.
If you’ve ever wondered how to create a career that supports your ideal lifestyle, this episode will give you the insights and strategies to make it happen—whether that means negotiating remote work, pivoting to a new industry, or building something of your own.
Key Takeaways:
- How to explore remote work without quitting your job overnight.
- Different ways to create career flexibility (it’s not all or nothing!).
- The mindset shifts, financial planning, and skills that made this transition possible.
