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.”
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.
Expanding through my Olympic quest with the Australian Bobsleigh Team.
Expanding in an attempt to sea kayak across Bass Strait.
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.”

About Kristy
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.
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”
In the episode...
Kristy’s first adventure was moving from New Zealand to Australia.
Every time she travels she feels like she is ‘opened up.’
Kristy started her career in the beauty industry and was always driven to accomplish her goals.
Kristy was burnt out and was looking to reconnect with herself so took a one-month sabbatical to travel to Mexico and Cuba.
Her intention was to reconnect with the world around her.
How Kristy came to realise how easy it is to get lost in your own world.
Kristy is always trying to live an optimal life which is why she is always looking to expand.
Why travel will always lead to expansion.
The trip to Hawaii where Kristy really stepped outside her comfort zone and started the exploration of expansion.
How Kristy continued to utilise the tool of expansion in her day to day life.
Why Kristy continues to seek out travels and adventures…because there is something alluring with not knowing what will be on the other side.
“It’s really easy [in today’s day] to get ‘lost’ in your own world.”
