From Survival Mode to Digital Nomad Life - My Story

Gah, I started a podcast!? Hi, I'm Ebba. I'm a Swedish digital nomad, business owner, and mental health survivor. Sober, single in my 30s, and childfree. An overthinker, a fitness lover, and apparently now a podcast host.This is the podcast where we talk about digital nomad life, mental health, and what it actually looks like to leave the 9 to 5 and build a life on your own terms. Because I struggled for years with anxiety and depression and when I finally got better I decided to choose freedom and life as a digital nomad.In this episode I want to share my journey and who this podcast is actually for and a bit about:- What the digital nomad lifestyle actually looks like beyond the Instagram highlight reel- How I navigated life after anxiety and depression and started building sustainable habits- Why leaving the 9 to 5 and moving abroad changed my mental well-being more than anything else- What no one talks about when it comes to finding purpose and alignment after mental health struggles- How I got started as a virtual assistant and moved to Paris with no plan- Solo travel, building meaningful friendships, and navigating loneliness as a nomadSo why Being A Lot?. Most of my life I’ve been scared of being too much. Too loud, too emotional, too needy, too loud, too shy. This podcast is about relearning that being a lot is not a bad thing and to live our full life even if it is not what others expect from us. 00:00 Welcome to Being a Lot 00:55 Who is Ebba? 05:39 Anxiety, depression, and the dream job that wasn't 09:36 How the digital nomad lifestyle changed my mental health 14:30 Where the name Being a Lot comes fromInstagram @being.ebba Podcast Instagram @beingalot.podcast
