THE WANDERLUSTERS MIND PODCAST

Abby Lewtas 18/3/20 Abby Lewtas 18/3/20

Opening to expansion and what is unknown.

Today I'm going to be talking more about the mindset shift from last week's guest Kristy Gray. We talked about how travels and adventures are really an opportunity for us to expand and grow. What it's really doing, is allowing us to open to and expand into what is unknown to us.

It so easy to get lost in your own world, yet being open to travel and adventure can really help you to expand.

“I believe that to expand you or someone else has to put yourself in a situation where you are challenged.”

— Abby Lewtas

In the episode...

How we expand through travels and adventures.
The balloon analogy of expansion and how it relates to how we expand.
Situations that will cause you to expand.

How you can use an expanded mindset in your day to day life.

“Expanding requires a lot of mental strength and resilience as you are always being challenged.”

Expanding to view the world with a new perspective through travel with Kristy Gray.

Kristy Gray is a Life Strategist, Astrologer & perpetual explorer of what it takes to live a passionate and purpose driven life. After a decade of experience in Learning and Development working with people, businesses and brands in beauty, Kristy decided to merge her skills and expertise together to create a unique and tailored experience with one goal in mind - to empower as many women as she can.

Kristy has learned that through travel and adventure, you have to be open to the unknown so you can expand a little more.

About Kristy

In 2017 Kristy resigned from her corporate job but was swayed to stay on for another year. Her bargaining tool to stay on was to take a 1 month sabbatical and travel to Mexico, Cuba and LA with her best friend. Cuba was the main attraction for this trip and she chose to travel as a 'minimalist' only taking hand luggage with her for 30 days.

She learnt so much about herself on this trip, connecting with herself internally, mindfulness in every experience and in the depths of her adrenal fatigue she had glimpses of happiness once again emerge. This trip showed Kristy what could be possible in her life and that she always has a choice, as she is a woman of privilege (unlike so many of the people in Cuba)

“I always wanted to help women feel empowered”

— Kristy Gray
