Summary
Have you ever noticed that a different version of you emerges when you travel?
Let's explore why leaving our familiar environments can shift our energy, spark creativity, bring clarity, and reveal forgotten parts of ourselves. From nervous systems and novelty to airports, liminal spaces, and fresh perspectives, this is an episode about the magic of changing your surroundings and hearing yourself more clearly.
I hope it inspires you to reflect on the environments shaping your life and the version of you that feels most alive.

| 1:37.0 | listen to old episodes if you really miss me. Being in this travel energy has me thinking about |
| 1:42.2 | something I find so fascinating. Why do we often feel so different |
