In this episode I sit down with Jason Nelson, author of A Balm for Your Soul: The 6 Seeds of Happiness, at one of my favorite cafes here in Da Nang, to talk about finding happiness as a digital nomad and why being kind to yourself is the foundation everything else is built on.

We talk about:

  • finding happiness as a digital nomad
  • the six seeds of happiness from Jason Nelson's book
  • self compassion as a digital nomad
  • how to quiet your inner critic
  • leaving a successful 20 year corporate career in London for a happier life
  • setting boundaries as a recovering people pleaser
  • why real friendships matter more than surface connections as a nomad
  • what changed after five years as a digital nomad


Jason Nelson is a digital nomad and author of A Balm for Your Soul: The 6 Seeds of Happiness. After 20 years building a career in retail marketing and e-commerce in London, Jason left his corporate life to become a location independent consultant, and now shares practical steps for building long term happiness through self care, self mastery, kindness, boundaries, relationships and connection.
