Do you have the courage to leave what's comfortable?

Published 6 months ago • 1 min read

A friend recently came to me seeking advice regarding my lifestyle around travel. He finds himself "at a bit of a crossroads" in his life and specifically wanted my perspective.

My little podcast heart thought, Oh this is going to be good. We should definitely have this conversation, but we should have it out loud for others to hear and potentially benefit from as well. Because I know that nearly all of us hit the "crossroads" at one point or another, or if you're anything like me, you hit it over and over and over.

Figuring out which way to go and why is SUCH a worthy conversation.

So, we did it. It's raw, it's real, it's vulnerable. And it's live now for you to watch or listen to.

LISTEN HERE

AND - the timing for this episode is so good - because right now I still have space left for my coaching program that starts this Thursday. If you're also ready for a change and you like what you hear, perhaps that space is left for you. ✨

I hope you enjoy the episode. 💛

P.S. Special shout out to my friend Walker for taking a huge courageous step and having this conversation out loud with me.

I recently had the honor of hosting each of them, separately, on the podcast, because Kristen's life changed in one magical sip of wine while we were living in Italy, and she...

The one travel insurance I ALWAYS buy

I just returned from two weeks in Quebec for the Adventure Travel World Summit, my favorite global travel conference. Part of the reason this conference is my favorite is because it always includes an adventure for me during the week ahead of the conference. This year I did a multi-day cycling trip around Lake Saint-Jean in the Saguenay-Lac-Saint-Jean region. It was beautiful and so fun and I'll tell you more about it in a podcast later because the point today is... I crashed my gravel bike....

While you were out playing this summer...

I hope you (fellow northern hemisphere-ers) had a lovely summer! And if you're a southern hemisphere-er, a lovely winter! Before it all gets too far in the rearview mirror, here's a quick recap of the happenings around here these past few months that you might have missed while you were having fun under the sun (I hope)! And if you're only here for the tutu, scroll down... I met Alex Honnold & Jim Morrison and had them BOTH on my podcast, from a stage at a conference in Utah! I recorded a...
