What happens when you get everything you thought you wanted — and still feel unfulfilled?
In this episode of Poncha Talk, we dive deep into what it really means to reinvent yourself. We explore the shift from climbing the corporate ladder to choosing a path that’s less traditional but far more aligned with your values.
We talk about the emotional weight of quitting a job others admire, how to deal with societal pressure when you live life differently, and what it takes to start over — from going back to school to taking a job that pays less but brings more meaning. You'll also hear about letting go of everything that ties you to your home base (job, apartment, relationship) and the moment when years of nomading lead to a desire for a semi-permanent home again.
🎧 Kate also hosts the podcast Hintern Horizont gibt's WLAN, where she shares her experiences and favorite nomad destinations:
