Jessica Summers

‘I worked so hard to break free from the 9 to 5. Why is it still so hard?’ Remember that feeling? The enthusiasm? Deciding where the first pin was going to be dropped at the start of your nomad journey? The feeling of possibility because you just KNEW that this was the real way to live…? I remember it too. That’s why I wrote this talk. So many nomads experience withdrawal, burnout, and even loneliness DESPITE living a life of their own choosing. Why? The hardest part is that we feel ashamed that we’re not ‘rocking it’, so we try harder and somehow get separated from who we really are. It’s hard to even admit to ourselves that things aren’t working because there’s NO WAY we can go back now. So there we are…stuck. Actually, it’s a lot simpler than you think to return to the joy and the possibility. Meet your nervous system! Teach this animal to love travel as much as you do and you’ll find yourself accessing your natural enthusiasm again with ease. Because that piece of earth right under your feet? That’s where you belong. It’s yours; always, wherever you might be.
