Corporate Grinder to Conscious Digital Nomad

This weekend I worked at a conscious festival called Moksha at the Los Angeles Convention Center. My best friend Tanya and I worked a booth for an Ayurvedic oil product called Gurunanda. It was a wonderful weekend where work and play had no boundary. I got to “work” by meeting like-minded people, networking, healing and growing. To me, that cannot be defined as work. This is how I know I am making the right decision to quit my corporate job and follow my purpose as conscious entrepreneur, digital nomad, contribution to society and peace ambassador.

While I still have about 6 weeks left at my corporate job, I feel like I am halfway in one world and halfway into another. The world I am transitioning out of is very black and white, routine, and stagnant on one hand, and secure and stable on another. Corporate America has been very good to me, the job I have now is extremely flexible, I wear yoga clothes and make my own hours for effs sake. However, it still just isn’t enough: I am surrounded by grey cubicle walls and LCD lighting when my soul is calling for the sun.

This transition is exhilarating, terrifying, and life-altering to the core. I am leaving my steady job, giving up my apartment (the longest place I’ve lived since my childhood home), moving in with my mom for 6 weeks, and then off to India for 4 months. India has been calling me for about a year now and I have finally answered. To me, India is the mecca of spirituality, yoga, personal growth and enlightenment; which in the last 2 years has been my entire life. Now I am surrendering to my insatiable hunger for growth and creation, I am ready to catapult my growth and go directly to the source.

I am creating a life that I love: a life where work and play blur together into one, a life where I love and accept myself unconditionally, a life where I contribute my gifts to the world. In a few short months, this life will be real. Goodbye cubicle, hello hammock. Goodbye 9–5, hello freedom.
