Manage episode 418212261 series 3554395
Ever found yourself yearning for the joy and novelty of travel while stuck in the monotony of daily life? Kat Medina joins us this week to unpack the concept of "asshole autopilot," where our brains fall into an efficiency trap, causing us to miss the beauty in our routine surroundings. We discuss how to combat this by being present and grateful and how embracing the traveler's mindset can reignite a sense of adventure in our everyday experiences.
During our conversation, we confront the inner critic that so often sabotages our sense of productivity, especially poignant through the lens of pregnancy and parenthood. Kat Medina opens up about her journey of redefining what it means to be productive, sharing her strategies for keeping creativity alive in the face of self-doubt. We also discuss the power of changing environments and setting specific rules to help foster creativity, taking inspiration from thought leaders like Brené Brown.
In the final part of our episode, we delve into the essence of gratitude in our daily lives, reflecting on how to maintain a sense of awe and appreciation even when the excitement of travel fades. We also cover the complexities of parenthood, with Medina providing glimpses of her own experiences traveling with her baby. It's an episode that promises to shift your perspective and perhaps even change how you interact with the world around you, whether navigating the trials of parenthood or simply trying to inject a little 'Pura Vida' into your day-to-day. Join us for a journey through life's joys, challenges, and transformative moments with Kat Medina.
