Give Yourself Permission to Choose Differently: Jason Moore on the My Most Authentic Life Podcast

from Zero To Travel Podcast · host Jason Moore

What does it actually take to give yourself permission to live unconventionally, and what's really standing in the way?  I had the opportunity to be a guest on the My Most Authentic Life podcast with Fede Vargas, a conversation we recorded live on the rooftop at Podcast Movement Evolutions during South by Southwest in Austin, Texas. Fede interviewed me about the themes that run through this show, including unconventional paths, pivots, lifestyle design, and what it means to choose differently.  This conversation pulls out some of my most honest thinking on what it means to give yourself permission to live unconventionally. We talk openly about my decade as a nomad with no fixed home, the internal and external forces that push back against unconventional choices, and how imposter syndrome never goes away but can be trained around. There's a lot here that I think will resonate if you've ever felt the pull of a different path but weren't sure you were allowed to take it.  Tune In To Learn:  Why giving yourself permission is often the first and hardest obstacle on any unconventional path  How imposter syndrome works as a muscle you can train, not a problem you solve  What it means to "pivot" before you've actually made any outward moves  Why the journey before the journey has more value than most people realize  How lifestyle design is less about optimization and more about filtering decisions through your ideal daily life  Why the "perfect average day" exercise is a practical starting point for anyone designing their life  How I spent a decade as a nomadic tour manager, including driving the Meow Mix Catmobile across the U.S.  What unexpected things can happen when you follow your gut, even last-minute  Why my definition of authenticity comes down to one word  And so much more  Resources:  Sign up for our FREE newsletter  My Most Authentic Life  Instagram  The Perfect Average Day  Laundry House  Want More?  How to Pivot to a Life With More Freedom (And Travel), Get More Free Time, and Unlock Your Intuition With Jenny Blake  How to Navigate Transitions and Design Your Life (Without the BS) with Lauren Handel Zander  Two Paths to Location Independence and Travel (No Skills Required) With Caitlin Sunderland and Janessa Klatt  Thanks To Our Sponsors  Become a Fora Advisor today at foratravel.com/zerototravel  Get 20% of at Cozy Earth with code ‘TRAVEL’  Learn more about your ad choices.
