EP 3: The Top 3 Things I Sucked at to Get Here

In this episode of The Nomad CEO Podcast, I get real about the top three things I royally sucked at in 2025 & how working through them helped me grow as a nomad, CEO & human.

Even though I am literally living my dream of traveling full-time & working for myself, the journey is still a fight. My goal is not just success, it is impact. Success will impress people, but failure truly impacts them, & I want to share the lessons from mine.

The three things I struggled with most last year

  1. Regulating My Nervous System
    2025 felt like an instant pot of stress. Panic attacks, anxiety & restlessness showed me my old coping tools were not enough. Somatic breathwork taught me how to reconnect with my body & make nervous system regulation non-negotiable. I am still learning, but I have come a long way.
  2. Budgeting
    I have tracked my finances for years, but building a business on inconsistent income pushed me out of my habits. Big projects, retreats & nomad life expenses added up fast. The first three months as a nomad were spent in a low-cost area to course-correct, and I learned how critical it is to balance personal finances with business growth.
  3. Marketing My Message
    As the founder of World Changers, I am in the bottle, seeing every detail & vision. Explaining it clearly to others, the label outside the bottle, has been a challenge. Last year it felt overwhelming, but with guidance, clarity, & support, I have made progress, & I am still growing.

These struggles shaped my mindset, my leadership & my ability to create meaningful impact globally.
