103) What My Recent Identity Crisis Taught Me About Being a Digital Nomad

Digital Nomad Life Podcast

Recently, I’ve been having an identity crisis around my business, and you may have seen me talk about it on my social media @christabellatravels. Today, I wanted to make this episode for anyone who is currently going through an identity crisis and to let you in on what’s been going on in my world.

If you have a business — maybe you’re a freelancer, a content creator, or one of my clients who has gone through the Digital Nomad Life Academy — I think my story today will resonate with you. And maybe, you’ll even learn something that helps you ride the wave if you ever find yourself in the midst of your own identity crisis.

For years, my brand was all about digital nomad life, remote work, and building a business so you can travel the world. And while travel will always be my first love, I’ve realized my truth now is about freedom, grounded living, and creating a lifestyle that fits you — whether you travel or not.

Here’s what we’ll get into:

• The real difference between Instagram vs. podcast content (and why I feel more authentic here)
• How my business evolved from “travel nonstop” to “design a life you actually want”
• Masculine vs. feminine energy in entrepreneurship — and how shifting mine changed everything
• The beauty of pivoting your business without “starting over”
• Why your identity shifts are not a crisis… but an invitation

Whether you’re a freelancer, content creator, or future entrepreneur, this conversation will help you rethink how you’re showing up in your brand — and give you permission to change course without guilt.
