Just Women Talking Shit

Have you ever felt like your life was on autopilot, following a path that wasn’t truly yours?

In this episode, I sit down with Dina-Marie, creator of Way of the Founder and a coach for expats, nomads, and transplants, as we explore her courageous leap from a successful career in the U.S. to starting anew in Vietnam. Dina-Marie’s story challenges the boundaries between external success and internal fulfillment, offering profound insights into the transformative power of bold decisions.

A nomad and expat of 10 years, Dina-Marie helps visionary entrepreneurs build location-independent businesses that align with their wildest dreams of freedom and impact. With her unique approach—equal parts strategy and soul—she empowers others to stop trading time for money and redefine success on their own terms.

This episode is filled with both hilarity and heartfelt moments, including tales of mispronounced names, the quirks of virtual meetings, and a delightful nod to a Key and Peele skit that will leave you smiling.

Together, we unravel the world of location-independent entrepreneurship, diving into what it truly means to live and work beyond the confines of a traditional nine-to-five.
Dina-Marie shares her passion for blending personal growth, spiritual exploration, and business leadership to create lives of freedom and purpose.

Through candid discussions on mental health, chronic illness, and leaving corporate life behind, we illuminate the journey from burnout to liberation. We reflect on the importance of community, spirituality, and self-discovery, highlighting moments of introspection and surrender that lead to finding authenticity and fulfillment.

Dina-Marie’s background in music management, her degree in entrepreneurship, and her deep spiritual practice inform her holistic coaching style.
Through Way of the Founder, she provides hands-on support, deep healing practices, and travel inspiration for nomadic entrepreneurs. Her story is proof that true freedom is possible, and her mission is to guide others toward financial freedom, location independence, and a life that truly works for them.
