30. Who Told You to Stop Living Just Because You Are Back To Your Home Country

41min | 04/01/2025

Description

Many people returning home after living abroad get stuck in survival mode. They think the "rules" have changed, that back home, life is about numbing emotions, avoiding discomfort, and playing it safe. But the game of life is still the same. The goal isn’t just to avoid losing. It’s to play to win.

In this episode, I dive into:

🔹 How abroad, you allowed yourself to feel and experience life fully—but back home, you're told to suppress your emotions.
🔹 The difference between playing to win vs. playing not to lose (and how to shift your mindset).
🔹 Why it’s your responsibility to create a life you enjoy, but NOT your responsibility to make others feel better about theirs.
🔹 The importance of being mindful of whose advice you take, if someone’s life doesn’t inspire you, why listen to them?

If you’ve been feeling stuck, uninspired, or like you don’t fit in since coming back home, this episode is for you. It’s time to rewrite the rules and start playing the game of life on your own terms.
