So your company shifted to work-from-home 17 months ago..... now what? Instead of renewing your lease, consider taking your remote work anywhere in the US 👀  Over my last year of working remotely and traveling, I have been learning the best (and worst) ways to do nomad life. If you are even the least bit curious about how to transition to nomad life and hop from place to place all while working from home, TUNE IN! Questions answered in the episode: 

- How do you choose which city to live in?

- How does this work financially?

- Do you travel alone or meet up with friends? If alone, does it get lonely?

- Have you had conflicts with work while traveling?

Vulnerability is the willingness to show emotion or allow one's weakness to be seen/known, as well as the willingness to risk being hurt or attacked. I don't know about you, but I think that sounds awful. In this solo episode, I reflect on vulnerability as a whole and share the themes that Brene Brown (Author, Professor, Public Speaker, & Goddess) speaks of in her TED talk "The Power of Vulnerability". These themes include: 

- not being afraid of your own imperfections

- letting go of who others think you should be and stepping into who you actually are

- being kind to yourself before being kind to others

- connection is one the greatest parts of the human connection
