359: The 5 Lessons: What a Month in Asia Taught Me About Thinking on Your Feet
About this episode
Erin Diehl shares insights from her month in Asia, focusing on adaptability and the lessons learned about life and parenthood.
“Sometimes you have to leave home to see home.” In this episode of Workday Playdate, Erin takes listeners on a journey through Shanghai, Singapore, and Bali to unpack what a month abroad taught her about thinking on her feet and appreciating the life waiting back home. What starts as an international travel adventure quickly becomes a masterclass in working parenthood, and the improv mindset required when every plan goes sideways. If you've ever had to pivot quickly, parent imperfectly, navigate uncertainty, or figure it out as you go, this episode is a reminder that flexibility is a skill you can practice.
