Today we’re diving into a conversation most people avoid. We’re talking about fear of failure: why it keeps so many aspiring digital nomads stuck and how to completely shift your relationship with it.

I share the raw story of getting fired from my “dream job” in New York City and the shame spiral that followed… and how that failure actually cracked the door open to the freedom lifestyle I live today in Bali (yes, it’s as dreamy as it sounds). Plus, I break down the real reason most people never pursue entrepreneurship even when they say they want to.

Whether you're thinking about starting an online business or already on the path to entrepreneurship, this episode is your pep talk, your truth serum, and your gentle kick in the ass—all in one.

🔥 In this episode:

Why fear of failure is the real thing holding you back (not time, money, or your niche)
The actual stats behind why people don’t pursue entrepreneurship
My personal story of failure, burnout, and rebirth into digital nomad life
How failure can be the BEST thing that ever happens to you
Why entrepreneurship is the ultimate personal development journey
A simple mindset exercise to shift how you see risk and rejection
