I think the best form of therapy is solo travel.

Fun fact, I have NEVER done a solo trip!! I’ve done a lot of travel but always with my hubby/friends or for work which doesn’t count. Isn’t that wild?!

This spoke to me! ❤️ just last week I realized it’s been so long since I did something which didn’t tie into some grand purpose. To just be instead of be someone. Crazy!

I struggled at the start of the year finding balance with starting a new business.

My mindset was still in the 9-5 headspace and when I had finished my work and tasks for the day before lunch - I struggled with this and felt guilty that I should be doing more.

But the reality was it meant I had time to do things for me - like put some infra red heat on my back to help with pain and discomfort - sit and read my book, relax and be better prepared for when I picked up my kids from school.

I am glad I don’t have an AI assistant filling my day with more and more things that I probably wouldn’t feel like doing - that feels like hell.

Can confirm this by having worked in self-development industry. Not all of it is designed to help you.

Ohhh Santa we need the tea! Maybe I’m naive, but I really want to believe that it is possible to build and grow a business while genuinely supporting people.

It is, just takes more effort and time because you don’t use triggering marketing

You make so many great points in this podcast. One that especially made me pause and think was what you said about hobbies and hustle culture and an activity not being fun. When I got laid off into retirement I said this is it, now I can do what I love and make money from it as a second career and it really changed what I loved to do. It created strain and judgement of myself as failing because I’m losing more money than I make. Much more! My body of work has quadrupled but I’ve felt like a failure because it has not sold and that’s too bad. I’ve realized I’ve ruined the experience I love by judging it by its lack of monetary reward. I need to start reveling in the joy of creating again. 😌
