Little Bit Different

Ep 46: Nuqui: A New Hope

In this episode of A Little Bit Different, I’m sharing my unforgettable journey to Nuquí and Playa Termales on Colombia’s Pacific Coast. Picture this: no Wi-Fi, no cars, just wooden cabins, breathtaking beaches, and a community of the kindest, happiest people I’ve ever met. I talk about whale watching (in season!), jungle hikes, and even the humbling simplicity of meals shared in this remote paradise. This experience reminded me why I travel—to unplug, connect with nature, and truly live in the moment. Shoutout to my brother Richie, who made this trip even more special. His local know-how led us to Nuquí, and wow, what a place! Whether it’s seeing kids play in the streets, sharing communal meals, or navigating jungle trails with locals like our guide Gelsons, this was pure magic. If you’re craving an off-the-grid adventure that’s all about nature, community, and a fresh perspective on life, add Nuquí to your bucket list.

Ep 45: How I Hit 95% of My Goals in 2024 (And You Can Too)

Welcome to a brand-new year and an all-new episode of Little Bit Different! I’m recording this from a remote beach town in Colombia, where the jungle meets the Pacific. It's been the perfect place to slow down, reflect, and plan for an epic 2025. In this episode, I share my personal goal-setting process—how I brain-dump ideas, filter them through intention, and break them down into meaningful categories like health, finances, and relationships. Most importantly, I dig into the golden question: Who do I need to become to achieve these goals? Plus, I share some big plans for this year, including a Muay Thai camp in Thailand (yes, seriously) and the mindset shifts that make hitting goals feel almost impossible to fail. ____________________________________________________________ ✈️🌎 But first, a quick shoutout to our sponsor, Conscious Counsel – your go-to for heart-led legal services in the health and wellness industry. 💼❤️ Check them out on Instagram https://www.instagram.com/consciouscounsel/l and use the code "podcast" for a discount on your next service. 💬✨Also check our website: https://www.consciouscounsel.ca/

Ep 44: 3 Powerful Steps to Wrap Up Your Year with Gratitude

In this final episode of A Little Bit Different for 2024, we’re diving deep into the art of reflecting on the year and setting yourself up for an epic 2025. I'll share my personal framework for annual reflection—a mix of brain dumps, photo albums, and intentional solo time (yes, solo dinners are a thing, and they’re fabulous 🍷). You'll hear about my highs, my not-so-highs, and why being your own detective is the key to unlocking meaningful insights from your year. Plus, a little reminder: goals are guardrails, not handcuffs—sometimes you pivot, and that’s okay. Hit play, grab a notebook (or your notes app), and let's close out 2024 with intention, joy, and a big ol' toast to you! 🥂_______________________________________________________________ ✈️🌎 But first, a quick shoutout to our sponsor, Conscious Counsel – your go-to for heart-led legal services in the health and wellness industry. 💼❤️ Check them out on Instagram https://www.instagram.com/consciouscounsel/l and use the code "podcast" for a discount on your next service. 💬✨Also check our website: https://www.consciouscounsel.ca/

Ep 43: How a Silent Retreat Pushed Me to My Breaking Point

This week, I’m taking you on a whirlwind journey to Sri Lanka. This isn’t your average travel story—it’s about a silent Vipassana meditation retreat that unexpectedly changed my life. Picture this: meditating 10 hours a day in silence, sleeping on a rusty bed frame with spiders for company, and eating crackers for dinner. Sounds fun, right? While I went into it thinking I was ticking the next box on my “spirituality journey,” by Day 4, a single thought hit me like a lightning bolt: “If I never write the Yoga Law book, I’ll regret it forever.” Spoiler alert: I left the retreat early, holed up in a hostel, and wrote 90% of the book in six days. Sometimes you’ve got to quit something to win at life. Sri Lanka was more than just a lesson in failure and resilience; it was pure magic. From playing street cricket to sipping coffee in Kandy (yes, I went for the name), the country left an unforgettable mark on me. This episode dives into how those four intense days of meditation built the foundation for a daily practice I still follow and how facing my ego head-on propelled me personally and professionally. Plus, I’ve got a mission: I’m aiming for 250 subscribers by the end of the year, so smash that subscribe button and join me on this wild, different journey.

Ep 42: The Illusions We Chase and the Truths We Miss

This week I’m diving into something that’s been on my mind for a while: the difference between illusions and truths. Life has a funny way of throwing shiny things at us—“Once I have this, I’ll be happy,” “If I just move there, everything will work out.” But let me tell you, these are traps I’ve fallen into more times than I care to admit. I break down three big illusions I’ve faced and the hard-won truths that keep me grounded. Spoiler: happiness doesn’t come from the car, the six-pack, or the next destination—it’s about how we show up every day and the stories we tell ourselves. Also, I’ve got a mission: we’re aiming for 250 subscribers on the channel by year-end, and I need your help! If you’re loving the vibe here, hit subscribe, share this episode, and let’s keep building this awesome community. Remember, wherever you go, you take yourself with you—but if you're here, you’re already on the right path. Let's explore this journey together.
