  <description><![CDATA[Exit the matrix with me. Earlier this year I quit my 9-5 to spend a year traveling around the world. I’m trying to get more in touch with my higher self by bringing awareness to old stories that are no longer serving me and by seeking out new ideas to expand my perspective about what’s possible. To keep myself motivated and inspired, I listen to podcasts about self growth, spirituality, relationships, wellness, alternative lifestyles, plant medicine, and the mysteries of the universe. My intention is to share the things I’m discovering with you, whether it be from the podcasts I listen to or from conversations I have with friends or the people I’m meeting as I’m traveling. I hope that the things that are empowering me will resonate with you too in some way. I appreciate you taking time to listen!]]></description>
