In My Non-Expert Opinion The Art of Strategic Disruption and Why Travel Might Be the Best Business Coach You’ve Ever Had with Edila Smith
Ever notice how your most profound realizations happen when you're completely out of your element? In this episode, Chelsea sits down with Edila Smith (in-person in Lisbon!) to explore why disrupting your environment might be the fastest way to disrupt unconscious patterns that are running your life. From the reality of working while traveling to building a business that feels like home, this conversation reveals why most of us are sleepwalking through carefully constructed routines without questioning if they actually serve us.
Episode themes:
- Why "perfect" morning routines can become creativity killers and how to build adaptive systems instead
- The reality check on laptop lifestyle myths (spoiler: working by the pool actually sucks!!!)
- How environment disruption strips away familiar identities and forces growth
- Why dropping your "professional mask" makes people want to invest in you
- Micro-disruptions you can try without booking a flight
- Why it might be time to throw the journal out
- Use life as your mood board
- The case for having way more fun in business and life (and both Chelsea and Edila share their unhinged wishes for having more fun)
This episode is for those who feel stuck in routines that no longer serve them, entrepreneurs tired of performing "professionalism," and anyone curious about using environment disruption as a tool for conscious living.
