Building a Life Outside the Script
18:46
 

Welcome to the first episode of the West of Normal podcast.

 

In this introductory episode, I share the story behind the podcast, my lifelong connection to intuition, and the unconventional path that led me from a childhood dream of Alaska to a life of solo travel, entrepreneurship, and living on the road.

We explore what it means to build a life outside the script, why self-trust is one of the most important skills for unconventional living, and how nature became one of my greatest teachers. I also share an energetic exercise that has helped me create clarity around major life decisions and navigate some of the biggest transitions in my life.

Whether you’re dreaming of a different way of living, navigating a major life transition, or simply learning to trust your own inner voice, this episode offers a glimpse into the philosophy behind West of Normal.

 

Topics explored in this episode: 

  • Building an unconventional life on your own terms
  • Following intuition and inner knowing
  • Growing up with a deep connection to nature
  • A childhood dream of moving to Alaska
  • Solo travel, freedom, and self-trust
  • Physical and energetic tools for creating a meaningful life
  • Why clarity matters when pursuing big dreams


Recorded from my truck camper, this conversation is an introduction to the stories, lessons, and road-seasoned wisdom that will shape future episodes of West of Normal.

West of Normal

 

 

 

 


Recorded from my truck camper, this podcast is a space for people who never fit the mold and stopped trying to.

 

These conversations explore freedom, reinvention, intuition, and what it takes to build a life on your own terms while staying grounded, healthy, and fully alive.

As a trained intuitive and creative entrepreneur who built a six-figure business from the road, I’ve learned that living differently requires more than courage. It requires self-trust, adaptability, and the ability to stay grounded while creating a life that makes sense to you, even when it doesn’t make sense to everyone else.

This is not about having life perfectly figured out. It is about paying attention to what feels true and having the courage to follow it.

 

If you’ve felt drawn to a different way of living, you’ll recognize yourself here.

West of Normal is a place for people building a life outside the script. Part road story, part practical toolkit, and part exploration of the energetic side of being human, these conversations explore freedom, intuition, self-trust, creativity, and what it takes to follow your own path. Not the normal route. Just the one that’s true for you.
