French Canadian Anthony Boudreau is living the nomadic dream💫

27-year-old French Canadian Anthony Boudreau created a big splash when he landed as a newbie into our (now open-to-the-world) Growmotely Community about two weeks ago. Right out of the starting blocks, he shared with us the 11 steps that he took in order to transition from being a location-dependent professional in Montreal, to being a location-independent digital nomad – currently residing […]

Upskilling in the realm of remote work via our masterclasses

Here at Growmotely, we’re pumped about learning. We can’t help it; it’s how we’re wired. Stay curious, stay open is one of our five company values, and let’s state what’s true –> curiosity and learning go hand-in-hand.

Rowland, remote work & being a (dope) father in Lagos…

Rowland Okoli – our UX/UI Designer here at Growmotely – is a remote work evangelist. One noteworthy perk of his remote work lifestyle? Instead of the occasional six-hour stuck-in-traffic drive home from work, he now takes his three kiddos to school every morning, and picks them up every afternoon. Incredible!

Big launch coming next week 💫 

We no longer will be hoarding the beauty of our vibrant and resourceful Community for Remote Professionals. Starting on Monday, 3rd October, we are opening it up to professionals around the world. If you reside on Planet Earth, and you love our vibe, we would love for you to join us!

Conflict resolution for a more beautiful world

A few months ago my husband and I moved through a rough patch, and I observed something really interesting during this time. In my mind, he became my opponent. I would be replaying past conversations, or preparing for upcoming conversations, thinking about what I could say to essentially ‘win’ against him. To be ‘right’, and […]

Am I a failure?

Hi fam, I’ve learned something along the way about vulnerability and its power. Firstly, we can share something that topically, by its very nature, is vulnerable. As in, others will likely agree it’s a vulnerable thing to speak about. But in truth, if we’re sharing after we’ve processed it and made peace with it, it’s […]
