“Yeah, okay…Well, this is gonna hurt like a mother f***er!”--Michael Scott

In this emotional final episode from Seoul, Billy talks about making the difficult decision to leave Korea (despite every fiber of his being not wanting to go), why he wants you to stop asking people who make difficult life decisions, “Why?” and what to say instead, and what this journey has really been all about (here’s a hint…it involves you!). 

Oh, and you’ll want to stick around until the end because he’s got some other news he needs to share with you as well…

In this week's solo episode, I get vulnerable and share my current emotional and mental state. Although my two months in Japan have been incredibly meaningful, I've been experiencing a multitude of challenging emotions that stem from feeling completely overwhelmed with the wide range of life changes I'm currently going through, but I feel that I am now ready to reintroduce some structure into my life once I get back to Seoul this week. Additionally, I describe how my mindfulness practice and therapy have given me the tools to navigate this transitional period with more curiosity, openness, compassion, and awareness.

In this week’s solo episode, Billy shares some exciting travel tips and updates for those of you who’ve got the travel bug!  Billy also extends an invitation to join his weekly virtual mindfulness sessions! The focus of this week’s episode details how renting a scooter (almost) gave him an anxiety attack. For those who don’t know, when you travel to Thailand, the most common and efficient transport vehicle is a scooter, and there’s an abundance of that for rent…but what do you do when you’re too afraid to rent one?! 

Make sure you tune in to understand how a simple 2-wheeled vehicle can trigger so much anxiety and how Billy turned those anxious thoughts into action.
