Sailing into the Unknown with Ruby Rose: Navigating Burnout & Mental Health in a Freedom Lifestyle
Sailing into the Unknown with Ruby Rose: Navigating Burnout & Mental Health in a Freedom Lifestyle
“We spend time with family every year... We don’t spend 12 months a year on our boat. Every now and then you have to get off. Owning a boat is a little bit like having a very, very unruly two year old. It’s very needy, it needs constant attention, and if you turn your back on it, it will just crap in a piano.”
Throwback to one of Kristin's favorite podcast interviews with Nick Fabbri and Terysa Vanderloo of the YouTube channel, Sailing Ruby Rose.
In this podcast, they share how they quit their medical jobs in London to sail the world and what they've learned from three years at sea.
They talk about overcoming burnout and how they've been able to find more connection, community, and balance in their freedom-filled lifestyles.
They also describe the many cool features of their sailboats, the highs and lows of living life on the sea, detoxing from social media, and the lessons they’ve learned while exploring the globe.
Listen now to find the courage it takes to step outside of your comfort zone, take risks, and learn new skills to support yourself from anywhere. Plus, how to fund your travels while sailing full-time.
