48. Psychology Lessons I Learned on My Europe Trip

Sometimes the real growth happens when you're off the clock.

In this reflective, wisdom-packed episode, Samantha shares five surprising lessons from her recent three-week adventure through Europe—part solo offsite, part vacation, and totally transformative. From cozy Dutch cafes to a car breakdown in rural Scotland, she uncovers the sneaky patterns we carry into life and business—and how to gently release them.

If you've ever felt like you're always chasing the next thing, trying to fix everything, or wondering whether intuition is a skill you can trust—this episode is a gentle, story-rich nudge to slow down and look inward.

What You’ll Learn in This Episode

  • The moment Samantha realized she was living her past dream

  • What Van Gogh taught her about playing to your strengths

  • How one waterfall hike helped her drop the urge to fix everything

  • Why a car breakdown became a masterclass in emotional flexibility

  • The late-night intuition hit that cracked open a whole new way of knowing

Key Takeaway

Your psychology patterns travel with you. But so does your wisdom.


When you slow down and notice the stories you're carrying—about control, success, productivity, and pressure—you create space to rewrite them.
