125) From Stressed BBC Journalist to Becoming a Digital Nomad: How Lara Escaped Corporate

I'm so excited for today's conversation because I'm sitting down with my friend Lara Maysa from Haus of Light from a live studio here in Bali, Indonesia. We've only known each other for a short time, but the moment I heard Lara's story, I knew I had to bring her onto the podcast.If you're someone who's been dreaming about creating more freedom in your life, building a business online, or escaping the traditional corporate path, but you also want your work to feel deeply meaningful, this episode is for you.Lara's journey isn't just about becoming a digital nomad. It's about finding the courage to leave behind a life that looked successful on paper and create one that actually felt aligned with who she was.She started out in London as a BBC journalist, living the fast-paced corporate lifestyle, chasing success, and burning herself out in the process. Today, she's a spiritual guide and teacher based between Bali and Egypt, leading transformational pilgrimages that help others reconnect with themselves and their purpose.This isn't one of those "I quit my job overnight" stories.It's a conversation about burnout, intuition, slowing down, trusting yourself, and what can happen when you finally create enough space to hear the direction your life has been trying to give you all along.Whether you're still commuting to your corporate job, dreaming about working remotely, or already building a location-independent business, I think this episode will leave you questioning what freedom really looks like and what might be possible if you actually listened to that quiet voice inside of you.In this episode, we cover: Why burnout can be the catalyst that changes your entire life Lara's journey from BBC journalist to spiritual guide What corporate hustle was really costing her mentally and physically The retreat in Bali that completely changed her direction Learning to trust intuition—even when it makes absolutely no logical sense Why creating space and stillness is essential if you want clarity The difference between fear-based decisions and heart-led decisions How taking one small risk opened doors she never could have planned Building a purpose-driven business while overcoming imposter syndrome What it actually feels like to leave corporate life behind and create a career that lets you work from anywhere👉 Connect with Lara Mysa:hausoflight.comFollow her Instagram Send us Fan Mail🎧 Ready to take action on starting a remote business?

Today I am in a studio in Bali, Indonesia, recording this episode with my dear friend Gabrielle Martorana, who I've known for many years and since I know her her life has changed so much. Gabrielle is a new mom with her first child who is living abroad in a Southeast Asian country. She didn't start there though, she used to work in corporate in a big fancy job in San Fransisco till she realized there was another way..From pitching her employer to become her first freelance client to creating a life that puts family, freedom, and intention first, Gabrielle broke out of the matrix. We also dive into what it's actually like to have a baby abroad, why Bali became home for their family, and how they're raising their daughter while living as expats. If you've ever wondered whether digital nomad families are realistic or if you have to choose between adventure and motherhood, this episode is for you.So today I'm really excited to have her talk about her slightly unconventional yet traditional lifestyle and how she got to where she is now.In this episode, we talk about: Why Gabrielle left corporate life to become a digital nomad The mindset shift that made moving abroad feel possible How she turned her employer into her very first freelance client Building a business while traveling the world What it's really like living as expats in Bali Navigating relationships while traveling full-time Deciding where to raise a family abroad Why she chose to have a baby abroad instead of returning to the U.S. Creating a birth experience aligned with her values Why digital nomad families are more possible than people think Designing a life around freedom instead of following the traditional timeline Whether you're dreaming about moving abroad, wondering how to become a digital nomad, or simply looking for permission to create life on your own terms, I hope this conversation reminds you that there isn't just one way to build a beautiful life.Connect with Gabrielle:Follow her Instagram: @expandwithgabrielle Ready to create your own location-independent life?

118) How to Go From Burnt-Out Freelancer to Freedom Filled Business Owner

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 Mail🎧 Ready to take action on starting a remote business?
