#530 | How to NOT Feel Like a Mess While Traveling
from Evolve Ventures · host Emilia Smith & Bianca Thomas
Send us Fan MailTravel does not create the mess. It exposes what was never built.In this episode, we unpack why leaving home your base wrecks sleep, goals, and self-trust for so many people, and what to do about it long before you pack a bag. Emilia breaks down a client who feared a bachelorette party would drag her back into old world, the grief of outgrowing a circle that does not share your values, and the We Travel checklists that turn every bad trip into a lesson instead of a loss. Bianca adds why the ability to advocate for yourself at 11 PM in a hotel lobby is built well before the trip starts, and why travel being your only reprieve deserves a much bigger conversation. We also walk a live example of naming your values, attaching standards to them, and rating your own mess level from zero to ten.Here's a related episode that builds on today's conversation: #511 | Why Alcohol Is an Easy Helper When You Are Stressed - https://podcasts.apple.com/ca/podcast/evolve-ventures/id1511831621?i=1000771646317The Growth Journey graphic referenced in this video - https://drive.google.com/file/d/1TjoFB6l-JBPkW2Pxf8GaYLQbJimvo_Ek/view?usp=drive_linkLearn more about:🤝 Out of the Mud (OOTM) - "The Difference Between Avoidance and Self-Protection" - https://us02web.zoom.us/meeting/register/IykObX8eR7ixJaQ-qqZogw#/registration📆 Evolve Group Coaching - https://evolveventurestech.com/evolve-group-coaching/📽️ Insightful films.
