In this episode of Where We Rise, Khalila sits down with award‑winning author and world traveler Meg Stafford to explore how curiosity, courage, and connection shape a life of adventure. Meg shares the stories behind her book Who Will Accompany You?, the travels that shaped her, and the journeys her daughters took that stretched her heart in new ways.

You’ll hear Meg reflect on:

• The curiosity that led her around the world
• What it felt like to leave her 17‑year‑old daughter at a monastery in Nepal
• The fear and pride of watching her older daughter accompany peace communities in Colombia
• Why travel helps her “breathe more deeply” and reconnect with herself
• How hiking and biking offer a slower, richer way to experience a place
• Why you don’t have to cross the world to feel the magic of exploration

Meg reminds us that travel doesn’t have to be far to be meaningful — “there’s plenty of it close to home.” Whether you’re dreaming of mountains, oceans, or your nearest state park, this conversation will inspire you to look for wonder wherever you are.
