Sometimes You Just Have to Jump: Out of ...

Rachel Brathen
About this episode

Are you willing to risk losing it all for the life you are meant to live? In today’s episode, Rachel is experiencing a full circle moment. She shares the story of leaving Sweden as a teen, finding herself in Costa Rica, everything she lost by making that decision, and how much more she gained. Now, many years later, she finds herself in a similar situation. But this time, she’s in Costa Rica just before moving back to Sweden. Standing on the edge of the same waterfall she stood at fourteen years ago, terrified to her core, she jumps.

Because sometimes that’s just what we have to do. We have to jump off waterfalls, drop old patterns, and dive straight into a brand-new life. It takes an incredible amount of courage to put things aside for a dream, or to make impossible decisions in the hope of a better tomorrow. Are you willing to do it? Tune in to find out.
