What does it take to completely blow up your entire life and hit the hard reset button?

Well, my friend Edila has done it MULTIPLE times. A couple years ago, she sold everything she owned (literally gave her furniture away to people on her apartment floor), bought a one-way ticket to Mexico, and hasn't looked back in four years. She's traveled and worked across 15+ countries, rebuilt her business from scratch, and discovered versions of herself she didn't know existed. Recently, she burned her design business to the ground and is starting over again because she knows she can.

Now, today’s convo isn't a "quit your job and travel the world" fantasy. We get into environmental disruption and how to intentionally putting yourself in uncomfortable situations to meet different parts of yourself, confront your biases, and figure out what you're actually capable of.

In our convo, we explore: the screaming sensation that tells you it's time to leave, burning down what no longer serves you, traveling slow vs fast (and why slow wins), creating structure within chaos, confronting unconscious biases, why fun isn't unproductive, and building IRL community in a world that wants to keep us behind screens.

This episode is for: anyone who feels trapped in their current life, people who crave change but don't know how to start, digital nomads or aspiring travelers, anyone ready to prioritize pleasure and fun, the ones who want their dreams to be louder than their doubts.
