🌏 Getting to Know Philly & The Brain — Part #1

Thailand Changed Us: 50 Days That Transformed Our Minds 🇹🇭

One of the most meaningful places we visited during our time in Thailand was 🛕 The Sanctuary of Truth.

It wasn’t just beautiful it was peaceful, grounding, and eye-opening. While we were there, Phil and I had real conversations about life, business, mindset, and how experiencing different cultures around the world can truly change you as a person.

Some places don’t just look good on camera… they stay with you.

🎥 Watch the full experience here:

Would you visit the Sanctuary of Truth if you had the chance to go to Thailand?

Retirement isn’t an age.
It’s a decision.

It’s choosing how you want to spend your days, where you want to wake up, and what kind of life actually brings you peace.

We believe retirement should be intentional, not accidental.
Not rushed. Not forced. Not based on fear.

You get to choose your plan.
You get to redefine what retirement looks like for you whether that’s traveling the world, slowing down, starting something new, or finally living on your own terms.

There’s no one-size-fits-all path.
There’s only the one that aligns with your values, your freedom, and your peace.

If you’re thinking about retirement now or someday start planning the life you want, not just the age you want to stop working.

Thanks for being part of our journey.
We’re building a life by design and sharing it honestly along the way.

PHILLY AND THE BRAIN - SLOW TRAVEL

Hi everyone, it’s Denicia from Philly and the Brain.

What I’m about to say might be a little jaw-dropping for some of you.

We see the comments. The concerns.
“What about insurance?”
“What about visas?”
“Thailand is cracking down on visas.”

Trust me we’re aware.

I research first, then I plan, and then I take action. In fact, almost all of next year is already planned when it comes to travel. The only thing left for the last few months is booking flights.

I’m not saying people shouldn’t ask questions or be curious. But please understand this about us: we are aware, we research, and we act. We are not “what-if” people. I’ve never lived my life that way and if I had, I wouldn’t have accomplished half the things I have.

We are country-hopping by choice, not because we have to. Some people find that hard to believe, but that’s usually because they don’t know us yet. Phil lived in hotels for 25 years for work. I traveled as a young adult the very first chance I got. Before I even owned a home, I moved almost every year because I loved the excitement of being somewhere new.

Here’s the truth: there is no such thing as a perfect plan.

So take what you want from our journey whether that’s inspiration, encouragement, or simply a different perspective. But we don’t owe anyone explanations, and no one needs to worry about where we’re going to live.

I’m Denicia the Brain for a reason.
I’ve never lived fully inside the box… and I don’t plan to start now.

That’s all, folks.
