Have you ever felt like you’re meant to stray from the familiar path? 🛣️

In this episode of No Borders, No Filter podcast, host Debra Josephson candidly shares about navigating her life journey with constant discomforts that she now embraces as a philosophy to navigate her found path into a nomadic lifestyle.

She shares openly about being diagnosed with an extreme anxiety-depressive disorder after the harsh transition from undergrad to adulthood in the mid 90s, when the American economy was booming but racial fissures were rising. Thoughts of being “weak” and a failure were part of Debra’s mindset at this time.

Debra goes deeper into when she felt almost forced to leave the US, being a soul sucking discomfort staying a decade too long -after being enlightened in Costa Rica. Moreover, the current political climate-regressive government encourages her plans to stay abroad indefinitely.

Debra continues to step outside the familiar and reflects on how her global lifestyle has offered her the freedom to live authentically. She offers insight on how she’s able to cope with her challenges while averting from societal expectations that are toxic and diminishes independent, freethinking ways.

This episode is deeply introspective and inspiring, touching on themes of self-discovery, mental health, and the courage to embrace an unconventional life.

Tune in for an honest conversation about embracing discomfort, overcoming obstacles, and the freedom that comes with living authentically.
