Sit down with me as I share my personal life update while settling in Taiwan and reflecting on the insights I’ve gained during this transition. I talk about the grounding and restorative activities and circuit breakers that are helping me adjust, and why connecting with your roots can be so powerful. Join me as I open up about this journey and the lessons I’m learning along the way while I’m living in Taiwan.

 

DARING LIVING PODCAST SHOWNOTES

Key Points:

  1.  I just turned 30 and moved from Vancouver to Taiwan. This time in my life (my Saturn Return) is all about growing up and taking on more responsibility.
  2. Being back in Taiwan feels different – I feel like I truly belong here. When I hear people speaking Mandarin and see others who look like me, I feel completely at home in a way I never did in Vancouver.
  3. Even with the huge time difference between Taiwan and Vancouver, I made sure to keep doing my important daily habits like jogging and stretching. This helped me feel normal during a big change.
  4. I used to rush around trying to do everything – eat at all the famous places, see everyone, buy everything. Now I find just as much joy in simple things like walking in the park or eating at a local shop.
  5.  I learned that I don’t need to chase after things to feel good. I can create my own joy and energy from within, no matter where I am.

Actionable Takeaways:

  1. Take small breaks during your day – go for a quick walk or do some stretching between tasks to feel refreshed.
  2. Pick 1-2 simple things that help you feel good and do them every day, especially when life gets busy.
  3. Find ways to connect with your culture and background – whether that’s visiting your home country or joining local community events.
  4. Try to enjoy the little moments in your day instead of always looking for the next big thing.
  5. Look at what you’re already doing each day and ask yourself: “How can I enjoy this more?” instead of thinking you need to change everything to be happy.
