Summary

I recently went on my first solo trip that wasn't work-related, and it was such an eye-opener for me to see how comfortable I am in my daily life. Being on my own in Denver shined a light on all the ways that I rely on my security blankets, some of which I didn't even know I had. I share the thoughts and patterns that I noticed when I deleted the Instagram app off my phone and really pushed through resistance to amp up my workout routine. I also share some simple ways that I'm trying to create more new, fresh experiences in my routine, and the ripple effect it's had on every area of my life.

In this episode we talk about:

The feelings that I had going into my first solo trip
Recognizing when you're on auto-pilot and just working through the motions
Reprogramming your beliefs and actions to align with the version of yourself that you want to become
Creative ways to add in new, unknown experiences in your daily life

2:03.4	technical solo trip, at least the kind that I'm talking about today. And I got some really
2:09.5	powerful lessons from it. And it obviously helped that I was there for this event, which is all
2:16.4	about personal transformation and his book, the first book of his that I was there for this event, which is all about personal transformation, and his book,
