Ep #35: Becky Wong: How to Escape the 9-to-5 and Build Your Own Remote Working Adventure In A Post-Covid World

The Breathe Like A Badass Podcast

This week, I’m talking to Becky Wong, a remote-working digital nomad, business manager, freelance writer, and the founder of digital nomad blog, Project Anywhere.

Becky started Project Anywhere to champion and support others who are on the road to remote work or running remote businesses.

She encourages you to choose your own “work adventure” and to show the multitude of colourful paths that you could go on – both in your work or in your personal life – that could end up taking you to absolutely anywhere (even in a post-Covid world)!

In this episode, we talked about:

• Becky’s journey from long-time Londoner to digital nomad
• How to become a digital nomad and/or remote worker - even if you’re still in your 9-to-5 and have no idea where to start
• How digital nomadism and remote working is changing post-Covid, and why it can still work for everyone, regardless of job, circumstances, income, age or lifestyle
• How to overcome fear of failure when changing your life, and how to get comfortable with uncertainty
• What the best co-working communities are and how to find your people, wherever you go and whatever you do
• How to make work fit into your life, and not the other way around - and how to navigate the unexpected mindset blocks that come with that
• Becky’s own mindset habits that keep her sane and feeling at home no matter where she is

Plus, the joys of mountain views, rescue dogs, and vegan cooking!

This conversation was wide-ranging, funny, and most importantly, in these difficult times, hopeful! May it inspire you to go on your very own career adventure, whether that involves planning a post-Covid trip or simply working from home however suits you!
