Discovering Self via a Nomadic Lifestyle with Gila Melamed
Thursday May 30, 2024
Thursday May 30, 2024
Gila Melamed is my first real follow-up conversation. We chatted last Summer about a road trip she was taking in a camperized car – her carpartment – and I knew at that time she was returning home to “up-size” – to a mini van.
Now, many months into Phase 2, Gila tells us about:
- her journey of self-discovery and healing. (Gila’s explanation makes so much sense and is, perhaps, food for thought for many of us.)
- as with other nomads, there were clues from childhood that this lifestyle would be what fed her soul
- the process of converting a mini-van to permanent accommodation
- tips about listening to your gut, with a discussion about fear
- learning from other like-minded, more experienced women
- her growth in so many facets of her life
Gila is so candid about every facet of her journey, both physical and spiritual… and how that journey helps her to be the person she wants to be and raises her up to be the person she is.
