In this solo episode, I wanted to share an update on what I’ve been up to since returning to Costa Rica. Despite some unexpected challenges upon returning from the States, including car troubles and power outages, I have had the opportunity to reflect on my personal growth, and how living in Costa Rica has taught me to navigate life's hiccups with humor and grace.

After My Roadtrip From Hell, my car getting broken into, and countless tech issues on the back of this podcast and YouTube channel, I've still been able to find the light in every moment. Each day brings a lesson, and I've learned that if I fail 9 times, I'll win on the 10th. So I wanted to give you a real, raw perspective on my daily life in Montana. I don't focus on a single day but rather what my day-to-day lifestyle is like here as opposed to Costa Rica (which, spoiler alert, will become my home base soon!). I take you behind the scenes in all its highs and lows, showing you my experience working remotely, reconnecting with friends and their cute dogs, staying productive and ahead of new projects with Drop Cap Design, and taking time for me when I needed it. Plus, I share a fun story about a photoshoot with horses and a boat grill that...well, let's say, didn't go exactly as planned.

From how you make friends to the unrealistic expectations you set for yourself, I dive into the constants and variables of life on the road. I also discuss the ways in which my view of myself and the world around me can shift as I travel and gain new experiences, how our habits remain more constant than we realize, what happens after the feeling of vacation goes away, and the ways our health and wellness are impacted by moving abroad. Join me for a deep dive on what remains the same and what changes when you explore the world beyond your comfort zone.

I had the pleasure of having a spontaneous coffee shop interview with Rachel Kershaw, the founder of Women of Surfing, a movement dedicated to raising visibility of women who surf. Rachel shared with me her personal journey as a surfer, including how she overcame fear, and what makes her love surfing.

We all ended up in Costa Rica, drawn by the beauty of the ocean and the magic all around us. Listening to the stories shared by Rachel and Serena moved me tremendously, and I know they will move you too.

When you move to a new place, one of the most difficult things to do is to find your support system. No matter where I've gone, finding my people has always been my biggest priority, and sometimes my biggest hurdle. The people around you can truly make or break your experiences, and making friends doesn't always come easily to everyone. With only three weeks left in Costa Rica, I'm looking back on my time here. One of the major changes during this trip has been the community and friends that I've made. They've really improved every part of my life these past few months, and I want all of you to be able to experience the same thing. So grab your coffee, and let's get into it.
