Summary

Roshida Dowe, founder of Shida's on the Loose and expert on helping would-be-adventurers come out of hiding, joins the podcast to discuss how she was able to pivot from lawyer to expat by paying down debt and taking the leap into solo travel.

Roshida left her career, home, and daily responsibilities for the life of her own design and shows us how we could do the same thing… if we're brave enough to face our finances and the changes we need to make in our lives.

In this episode we discuss:

The power of recognizing your autonomy
Why jobs should not define or run our lives
The ability to create a community wherever you land
How paying off debt was essential for her travel journey
The true cost of overestimating the amount you need to take advantage of opportunities + more
