Notes From the New World

203: Romanticizing your life is a fun concept, but sometimes when it comes to travel, it can feel like we’re only seeing the rose-colored version of reality. Some aspects of a nomadic life are straight-up annoying. In the last year, I’ve bopped around to Croatia, Cape Town, Portugal, Spain, London, France, Mexico, Malta, Colombia, Peru, and Argentina.So, today I’m joined by my roommate, Joie Lim, to bring you a fuller picture of the digital nomad lifestyle! I met Joie in a traveling group called RemoteYear and we came back together this summer in Mexico City.Joie and I have been traveling for the same amount of time. And by the time this episode is released, we will be back in the US for the first time in a very long time. We’re recapping everything from flings and heartbreaks to hungover plane rides and FOMO.In this episode, we discuss: What inspired us to travel for such a long period of time (over a year to be exact!) Navigating love and lust when you’re constantly moving (and how you’ll learn a LOT about your attachment style in the process) Practical tips we’ve learned while juggling work and travel (get your notebooks out for this one) Our honest advice for aspiring travelersFull Transcript HERECONNECT WITH CHELSEA: www.chelseariffe.com @chelseariffe on Instagram Pitch Perfect Workshop Series - Aug 22 - 24 1:1 Coaching Info Enroll in Mic Drop, The Ultimate Podcast Launch Course!CONNECT WITH JOIE: Instagram LinkedInConnect with Chelsea:🪐 Pitch Perfect: the visibility immersion using strategic pitching to get you in the right rooms to shake shit up. $300 off until April 13th!☄️ SUPERNOVA waitlist: the thinking lab for the deep thinkers, world-builders, and curious visionaries who see futures that don't exist yet. 💻 Website🍿Popcorn Club: Monthly meet-up to debrief TV, movies, and the zeitgeist📜 Footnotes newsletter filled with rabbit holes💌 The Art of the Ask Podcast📱 IG: ⁠@chelseariffe⁠🧵 Threads: @chelseariffeSupport NFNTW: Your donations help cover costs of running the show; you can help fund NFTNW right HERE. If you're unable to donate financially, share it.

201: Is your outlook on “success” fueled by super masculine, rigid beliefs? A lot of times, society markets success to us as numbers, status and title. But what would it mean if you start looking at your success a little more spiritually?Todays guest, Liz Tran, grew up very poor in Section 8 housing and made her way to become an executive at a venture capital firm. She was making six figures and, by all intents and purposes, she had reached “success.”But she soon realized that her definition of success wasn’t working for her. Reaching a new income level didn’t translate to her happiness or anyone else’s. She wanted to impact the world beyond making a few men richer.Liz generously invites us into the winding road of her path to success. And the road started with changing her definition of success entirely.Liz Tran is the founder of Reset, where she works as an executive coach to CEOs and founders of fast-growing companies. Liz spent a decade in venture capital and tech, and she is also a meditation teacher and Reiki master. She hosts the podcast, Reset with Liz Tran, and her book, THE KARMA OF SUCCESS, is out NOW. Liz's mission, through writing, coaching, and podcasting, is to help others reach their greatest potential.In this episode, we discuss: how Liz ended up being the only female executive at a venture capitalist firm Liz’s relationship with money after coming from a scarcity background and coaching her self through that internal battle the beginning of Reset NYC and losing a $20,000 deposit due to Covid-19 (and how she picked up the pieces) the secret sauce that unlocked a new level of listenership with Liz’s podcast Reset with Liz Tran some of Liz’s mindset methods as an executive coach AND be sure to buy Liz’s book HERE or wherever you buy books!Full transcript ⁠HERE⁠.CONNECT WITH LIZ: ⁠www.liz-tran.com⁠ Connect with Chelsea:🪐 Pitch Perfect: the visibility immersion using strategic pitching to get you in the right rooms to shake shit up. $300 off until April 13th!☄️ SUPERNOVA waitlist: the thinking lab for the deep thinkers, world-builders, and curious visionaries who see futures that don't exist yet. 💻 Website🍿Popcorn Club: Monthly meet-up to debrief TV, movies, and the zeitgeist📜 Footnotes newsletter filled with rabbit holes💌 The Art of the Ask Podcast📱 IG: ⁠@chelseariffe⁠🧵 Threads: @chelseariffeSupport NFNTW: Your donations help cover costs of running the show; you can help fund NFTNW right HERE. If you're unable to donate financially, share it.

200: Going against the grain and embodying a new archetype (or character) can feel wildly uncomfortable.
