There are two main ways to make money online and become a digital nomad: being a freelancer or being a business owner.Inside the Digital Nomad Life Academy, I help people become business owners, but I’ve been noticing a lot of people are stuck in freelancer energy without realizing it — and honestly, it’s not sustainable. Freelancing can quickly turn into a grind where you’re working for your clients instead of for yourself.So in this episode, I’m breaking down the difference between freelancing and entrepreneurship, how to shift out of freelancer energy, and how to build a business that actually gives you more freedom, income, and control over your life.In this episode, we talk about: The difference between being a freelancer and a business owner  Why freelancing can quickly lead to burnout  How to stop trading your time for money  The mindset shifts required to start a business online  Creating scalable offers instead of hourly work  Why boundaries are essential as a service provider  The biggest mistakes freelancers make with marketing  How to build a lifestyle-first business as a digital nomad  Why predictable income matters when leaving your 9-5  How to create more freedom while getting paid to travel  Building a location independent business with long-term sustainability  The truth about “freedom” entrepreneurship vs. hustle culture Resources:Check out next: Episode 33: How My Career Assessment Process Want support building your online business?DM me on Instagram @christabellatravels with the keyword “APPLY” to start the conversation about joining the DNLA and creating your own freedom-focused business.paid to travel, digital nomad, freelancer, start a business online, online business coach, location independent business, remote work, freelancing vs business owner, scalable online business, lifestyle businesSend us Fan MailThe Digital Nomad Life Academy is offering a ⚡️flash sale⚡️-- anyone who joins before June 15th will get discounted tuition and a FREE Career Assessment with Christa.

If starting a business FEELS hard, it’s because you don’t understand these fundamental mindset concepts.In today’s episode, I want to go through a series of topics that I tend to talk about with my clients often, where it's like they're thinking about business with a mindset that actually keeps them in scarcity, or it keeps them confused, it keeps them feeling stuck. And then when I share my perspective about business, suddenly—boom—they're unstuck. Boom, suddenly they have clarity. Boom, suddenly they have more motivation. Boom, suddenly they feel more free to actually take the next step in building their business. So today I want start talking about these aspects of business that you really need to understand if you want to have an easier time building a business.Building a business is NOT  easy, but it also doesn't have to be that complicated.You don't have to be that smart to build a business. You don't need to have an amazing idea. You don't need to have a ton of upfront capital. You don't need to have really anything specific in order to build a business. So let's dive into these mindset shifts about business, hopefully then it will be easier for you to build your uncomplicated business. What You’ll Learn TodayWhy business is about solving problems (not passion)The mistake people make when trying to start a business without validationHow to actually build confidence (you don’t wait for it)What it really means to be the CEO + employee of your businessWhy your business should start as a simple “baby” versionHow to create a remote work lifestyle, quit your 9–5, and get paid to travel💻  DM me “APPLY” on Instagram @christabellatravels if you want help mapping out your online business + freedom lifestyle.🎧 Listen to NEXT:  Episode 99 – How Long It Actually Takes to Build a BusinessSend us Fan MailThe Digital Nomad Life Academy is offering a ⚡️flash sale⚡️-- anyone who joins before June 15th will get discounted tuition and a FREE Career Assessment with Christa.

Today, I want take you back to where my nomad life all began because I happen to recording this where it all started, Costa Rica.   And to be honest, being there on this trip has surfaced some emotional stuff for me that I wasn't fully expecting to surface and it’s kind of caught me off guard. I want to share the lessons that are coming up, my story and some things I want to come clean about. I've kind of been a little bit l offended when people ask me this question, which is: what are you running away from? And I have always thought,  why do I have to be running away from something?   I'm not running away from anything. But to be honest, I now understand 10 years later that at the time I was running away from something,  that I just wasn't ready to acknowledge. And today I want to talk about that and my story of how I became a digital nomad and now have a life in Bali. I also think that with everything that I share I just really hope that it falls upon the right ears, that there is someone out there who needs to hear this story and is gonna resonate with it, not just to help you feel less alone, but also to as a conclusion to this whole podcast to give you permission. Give you permission to follow your dream, whether you are running away from something or not.   So let me take you back to when my nomadic life began.. We will dive into: The travel story of how my digital nomad life actually beganWhy Costa Rica changed everything for meWhat it felt like taking the first steps toward a remote job lifestyleThe emotional side of returning to the place where your dream startedThe excitement, uncertainty, and discomfort of building a life as a digital nomadWhy sometimes our biggest life pivots begin with one spontaneous tripCurious about becoming a digital nomad? DM me @christabellatravels the code: APPLY Send us Fan MailThe Digital Nomad Life Academy is offering a ⚡️flash sale⚡️-- anyone who joins before June 15th will get discounted tuition and a FREE Career Assessment with Christa.

Today, I am interviewing one of my previous clients, Aleigha Knight, who has such an amazing success story I wanted to share it with you.  We are now recording this in Bali where she lives with her digital nomad business she built, but that isn’t where she started. She started in New York working a corporate job, getting no sunlight and working in a basement and realized this can’t be it for her. So she invested in my program, The Digital Nomad Life Academy to redirect and change the trajectory she was on. This year, she sold all of her stuff, let go of her apartment, and took her new Fractional Chief of Staff Business across the world to Bali.Today we are talking about her transition and also how her story is a testament that you too can change the trajectory your life is on. This episode is for you if:You feel stuck in your 9-to-5 but don’t know how to leaveYou want to quit your job and work remotelyYou dream of becoming a digital nomadYou want to get paid to travelYou’re curious about starting a service-based online businessYou want proof that it’s possible to reinvent your careerConnect with Aleigha:Instagram:  @aleighaaknightHer business: @virtualseaaWebsite Send us Fan MailThe Digital Nomad Life Academy is offering a ⚡️flash sale⚡️-- anyone who joins before June 15th will get discounted tuition and a FREE Career Assessment with Christa.

Today's episode we recorded in Bali, Indonesia, where I live with my good friend, Virginia Campo, who like many of the listeners comes from a pretty traditional corporate background but ultimately networked her way into an amazing digital nomad opportunity with Selena Hostels. She coins the word “intreprenuer” where she moved in and out of “Intrepreneurship” to “Soloprenuership” and now runs an agency. We also dive into how she has toyed back and forth from being nomadic to living a traditional life in the US to now living out her freedom filled life in Bali. Today we cover:What you are getting wrong abour starting your own business What is blocking you from starting a life in entrepreneurship and how to unblock your resistance to "do it scared"   How Virgina toggled between "traditional life and careers" and a "nomadic entrepreneur life" What the digital nomad lifestyle really looks being able to live a freedom filled life. Why being a digital nomad doesn't mean you have to live a nomdic lifestyleTo connect with Virginia Campo: Instagram: @virgicampo12If this episode sparked something for you and you’re curious about remote work, working online, or creating a digital nomad lifestyle that actually fits you, here’s what to do next:👉 DM me on Instagram @christabellatravelsSend the word “APPLY” if you’re ready to start working togetherSend “CAREER ASSESSMENT” if you want to explore how your background could translate into a remote jobOr send “FIVE STEPS” to receive my free 90-minute training breaking down my exact process for working onlineSend us Fan MailThe Digital Nomad Life Academy is offering a ⚡️flash sale⚡️-- anyone who joins before June 15th will get discounted tuition and a FREE Career Assessment with Christa.

Today's episode is not a normal business episode. It’s more of a life episode with business woven through it. I’m taking you behind the scenes of the six weeks where I basically ignored my to do list and said yes to life instead. I share what was going through my head as work piled up, why I chose presence over productivity, and what actually happened when I stopped trying to control everything. There’s a bit of story time, a bit of honest confession, and a lot of lessons about trust, freedom, and remembering why we built these businesses in the first place. If you’ve ever felt torn between living your life and keeping up with your goals, this one is for you. In this episode, we talk about:What freedom really looks like after years of being a digital nomadWhy recently I've chosen presence over productivity (and why I haven't been as active on the podcast or my socials as much)My recent identity shift when travel is no longer my main priority Why having a location-independent income changes everything—including motherhood, relationships, and how you experience lifeThe balance between saying yes to magic and knowing when to put your head down and workWhy quitting corporate isn’t about escaping work..How to build a life where time freedom is normal and not a luxuryIf this episode lit something up inside you and you’re serious about creating a life with time freedom, location independence, and work you actually enjoy, I can help you.I’ve helped 500+ people quit corporate, build online businesses, and design lives that don’t require asking for permission.👉 To apply for the Digital Nomad Life Academy:Send me a DM on Instagram @christabellatravelsType the word “APPLY”We’ll take it from there!Send us Fan MailThe Digital Nomad Life Academy is offering a ⚡️flash sale⚡️-- anyone who joins before June 15th will get discounted tuition and a FREE Career Assessment with Christa.

Today’s episode is for any entrepreneur out there who has already started their digital nomad business, but isn’t quite sure what to charge their clients.I’m here to help you come up with a price that you feel really good about—a price that makes you feel well compensated for what you’re doing, but also feels fair. But I am guessing you might be feeling resistance or even imposter syndrome when it comes to charging the price you want.

A lot of people want the digital nomad lifestyle and the perks of being an entrepreneur, but they think “ but I'm not cut out for it because I'm not entrepreneurial or I'm not Insert whatever quality it is that you think that you need in order to make that lifestyle happen.”Well, here is the thing.I think that there's these common misconceptions that people have about what entrepreneurship looks like. People out there like Alex Hermosi will have you thinking to become an entrepreneur you have to wake up super early,  do cold plunges and you gotta join the 5:00 AM club.  They tell you that if you wanna be successful you better make sure that you're willing to sacrifice and you're willing to do this and do that in order to be an entrepreneur. And I just find that kind of hustle culture and it's just not necessarily true.  So today I want to talk about what it REALLY takes to become an entrepreneur and being able to live a freedom filled lifestyle as a digital nomad and if you really are cut out for it? We are diving into:Why most people misunderstand entrepreneurship (and how to reframe it) How to start a business that gives you freedom — not burnout Why people with ADHD or creative minds actually thrive as entrepreneurs How to overcome fear, perfectionism, and “corporate thinking” The truth about what it takes to build a profitable remote business The #1 skill that separates successful digital nomads from the restWatch the FREE training: 5 Steps to Work From Wherever — Learn the high-ticket small service provider model that helps beginners build a profitable business in under 6 months. 👉 digitalnomadlifeacademy.com/biztraining or DM me on Instagram @christabellatravels with the code word “Five Steps.Ready for a Personalized Plan?

Today I want to talk to those who are truly not resonating with the country that you were born in and how you are not stuck and you CAN move abroad.There is another way to live life. The is another way to not be part of a  system that, that you were born into, but you didn't really actually have consent to. If you wanna be part of a different system, if you wanna go to a culture that has values that are more aligned with who you are as a person, you can. But here's the thing, unless you are a multimillionaire or someone with a trust fund. You are gonna need an income if you wanna survive in another country. So how do you have an income in another culture? That is what I want to teach you today and what I teach in my academy, the Digital Nomad Life Academy. If you’ve ever thought:  “I’m over this system.”  “I want to move abroad but don’t know how.” “Is remote work or digital nomad life actually realistic?” This episodes is for you. We talk about today: What reverse culture shock actually means (and why it hits so hard).The hidden ways U.S. culture shapes your beliefs about safety, success, and “normal life.”Why you don’t have to stay in the U.S. — and how living abroad can realign your values.How to create an online business that funds your freedom Step-by-step ways to take action — even if you have zero experience with remote work. DM @christabellatravels the keywords below:Podcast – to start a chat with MeMasterclass – to watch my free training: How to Get Started as a Digital Nomad.RRR – to get your Remote Readiness Rating and find out how close you are to your dream life.key points: culture shock, reverse culture shock, leave the US, move abroad, remote work, digital nomad, living in Bali, how to move abroad, digital nomad business, online income, work from anywhereSend us Fan MailThe Digital Nomad Life Academy is offering a ⚡️flash sale⚡️-- anyone who joins before June 15th will get discounted tuition and a FREE Career Assessment with Christa.

Today I want to turn you on to the topic of masculine and feminine energy and how masculine and feminine energy are actually really important concepts when it comes to building a digital nomad business that feels sustainable for you. Building your digital nomad business is all about balance and even having the energy to do so. I’ve seen entrepreneurs with too much masculine energy burn out and quit their businesses and then entrepreneurs who make no money because they are too tapped into their feminine energy. So today I want to explain how you can create this balance so you can live a thriving life as a digital nomad with vibrant creative energy and sustainable income in your business. DM me this CODEWORD @christabellatravels:85Send us Fan MailThe Digital Nomad Life Academy is offering a ⚡️flash sale⚡️-- anyone who joins before June 15th will get discounted tuition and a FREE Career Assessment with Christa.

Today we have on my podcast editor and former client Marie Walker from the Culture Cult Show and Anarie Productions to talk about the real difference between being a backpacker and a digital nomad with a digital nomad business. We cover digital nomad romances, digital nomad decision fatigue, work realities and even what happens if your worst case scenario comes to life. For Marie her worst case scenario did happen her first year as a digital nomad. She actually didn't love her first year as a digital nomad and actually burned out after three months, lost clients and had to handle the "worst case scenario." We dive into how the worst case scenario may happen and how Marie is travelling so much more sustainably this year and has created a more sustainable and thriving digital nomad business. So let's dive deep in this episode about the honest realities no one is telling you about when you become a digital nomad.

Today I want to talk about the timing of life and how painful it can feel when you look around you and you see everybody else is kind of doing the same thing and you feel behind in life. This feeling can be super isolating and I personally have felt behind in life so many times. So this episode is here to validate you if you feel behind in life, job, romance, finances, but also to lift you up because you just need a reframe. In this episode I want you to ask yourself do you even want the things you feel like you should have and who is projecting onto you? We are going to talk about letting go of comparison and realizing you are just where you need to be and how the timeline of your own life can ultimately manifest in ways beyond your wildest dreams.

Today I want to talk about overcoming your fears of starting your digital nomad business and to stop over complicating it. When thinking about building a digital nomad business we make it this big super risky thing when really it is truly simple if you just knew the basic steps. So I’m going to break down why having an online digital nomad business really is not complicated and it doesn't really matter the level of experience you have. The only problem you may run into and that pretty much ALL my clients run into is not believing in themselves and the icky problem of imposter syndrome. So after this episode, you can understand what fears you're up against and what's been actually holding you back from starting your digital nomad business whether it’s fear or imposter syndrome or causing resistance for you to change your life.Message me on Instagram: @christabellatravelsCODEWORD:  Complicated PodcastSend us Fan MailThe Digital Nomad Life Academy is offering a ⚡️flash sale⚡️-- anyone who joins before June 15th will get discounted tuition and a FREE Career Assessment with Christa.

Today’s episode is being recorded from my annual trip on the Nomad Cruise where I met another digital nomad entrepreneur, Delaney Thompson. Unlike most of us, Delaney actually grew up in a non-matrix lifestyle with expat parents in Costa Rica. She grew up with teachers who surfed, freedom-focused parents, and living as a traveler in nature. I think this episode is such an important discussion on exposure to the digital nomad lifestyle whether you were born to expats, travel, and meet other nomads who inspire you or you fall into this podcast- the first step to becoming a digital nomad is to be inspired by others. I hope this episode shows you how you can live a life as a digital nomad with just a little inspiration and how Delaney’s serial entrepreneur journey and hustle proves anyone can do this.Connect with Delaney: Linked InBahia Ai Message me on Instagram: @christabellatravelsCODEWORD:  Exposure PodcastSend us Fan MailThe Digital Nomad Life Academy is offering a ⚡️flash sale⚡️-- anyone who joins before June 15th will get discounted tuition and a FREE Career Assessment with Christa.

Elana started her financial coaching business and then paused to take a corporate job to learn more about her craft and also out of societal pressures. However, her dream of becoming a digital nomad simply just wouldn’t go away. Elana is a goal getter and in the span of one year she has quit her job, raised her networth to $100k at the age of 23 and has now just signed on her first high-paying client. I wanted to share this episode today because I want to share Elana’s story that starting your own business isn’t a linear journey it is quite the opposite it’s a journey of emotions, ups, and downs, and addressing your hidden shadows. In today’s episode we are going to talk about how becoming a digital nomad and entrepreneur is powerful and emotional, but always worth it.
