Celeste Lawson is the founder of ''Melanin Tours'', an agency that supports people that want to move to Costa Rica. Celeste has such an interesting life and thus was our conversation full of exciting stories and big visions. We talked about all the things: Celeste’s struggles with PTSD after her assignment in Iraq, reconnecting with her gut feeling after years of orders and clear structure, how Celeste met her husband (very romantic!) and where her wanderlust is taking her.

Swimming through pitchblack water with reflections of the night sky with my girl. That’s the perfect (little) summer adventure for me. I love summer and a good summer is when I go swimming in the lake or river as many times as possible.  Listen to the episode, where I tell you about how we just left home after 10pm and how this trip to the river let me have so many realizations about trust in myself, trust in my girl, trust in life. Feeling good in my body, feeling safe even around a group of drunk guys… you know how we think a million thoughts and make thousands of decisions every moment?  Feeling aligned and at HOME within yourself is so helpful and supportive to listen closely to the input of your senses, your intuition and your feelings. Life is just getting easy! Our mindset is the key for having joyful experiences wherever we go.  I’m curious which realization inspires you the most: How to stay relaxed and connected when you spend time with your grumpy kid?  How to enjoy the whole experience, even though things go wrong, taking it all in? How to stay feeling safe within your body and soul while navigating 1000 thoughts? Read the whole story here: https://www.joyismycompass.com/blog/summer-storytime

Relationships are EASY! Do you agree? Do you harshly disagree?   I’m glad I have your attention and I can tell you that relationships really get easier and easier when you realize that YOU are the only person you have to be responsible for.

Let’s take it easy and I read a part of the relation-ship-chapter out of my book “The Joy Compass, written for women and men” to you, ok?  Click play and we'll dive right in.  ***** To read the whole blog article, head over here: https://www.joyismycompass.com/blog/ep94-relationships

On a day, when your friend again calls you and dumps all their emotional trash onto you, you don’t feel joy at all. It’s a nagging feeling of AGAIN?? The same problem as always? On and on they go when you’d rather go for a walk or take a bath or even get some work done. But now you have this complainer and whiner at the phone and it SUCKS. Well. The good news is: YOU decide who is allowed to talk with you on the phone, for how long and about what.  The bad news is: YOU have to decide all that and tell your friend directly and boldly, otherwise, you know it… nothing changes. You were patient long enough. The biggest trick for me is to think through the situation with: What do I actually want? What would be ideal for me?  Listen to the episode and head over to the blog for more on this topic and 8 practical reactions that you can try right away when you find yourself in such a situation next time! https://www.joyismycompass.com/blog/trashcan

What a stupid question, right? : ) But you must admit, that you sometimes - often - daily  think, that your day should have at least 5 more hours. Right?  Well, we all have these 24 hours and I highly recommend to reserve eight of them for sleep! So, we have 16 hours left for creating magic. If you work for another eight hours you have still eight wonderful 60 minutes for hobbies, eating the most amazing food and moving your body… for your family, your friends and whatever deserves your attention and your presence.  That's the key: What deserves your attention!?  Who deserves spending time with you?  Read the whole blog article here: https://www.joyismycompass.com/blog/how-many-hours
