Life Is An Adventure, If You Let It Be with Monica Ortega

Published: Sept. 6, 2021, 2 p.m.

Do you feel like you are lacking adventure in your life? Are you waiting for the opportunity to travel or are you afraid to travel so you feel like adventure is no longer something available to you? Stop right there! Monica Ortega goes through in today’s episode how we can find adventure in our life just in our backyard! Shannon and Monica both have been bit by the travel bug and share the importance they have found in adventure and how much it helps us to grow. Shannon and Monica also discuss how their mental health is so much better when they travel and get outside of their everyday routine and how travel allows them to be much more present. There are so many things we can do to have new experiences but not have to travel far from home. You can explore more and find adventure, you just have to be open to the experience.  Monica also shares the power of pivoting, mindset work, and how we can expand past our fears to live the life of our dreams. 
 

Shannon does not have the peppiest introduction for today’s intro. It’s been a rough week for Shannon as she struggles with anxiety guilt. As Shannon takes on more speaking engagements, she is reflecting more on the hardships she went through in 2020 and she is having a hard time giving herself grace. With everything going on in the world, Shannon’s anxiety guilt has gotten worse and she is having a hard time validating her feelings and her experience. She is working hard to be kinder to herself and her anxiety and is excited for a long and relaxing weekend. Wishing her journiers so much love and positivity this weekend!
