#22. Carolyn Ray: On Women and Solo Travel


Listen Later

Enjoy this conversation with Carolyn Ray. Her passion for travel and living life on purpose is so real and motivating. I love her passion for building communities of women and empowering women to be the change agents in the world. Visit https://journeywoman.com/ to understand the importance of travel and how we can live a life of purpose anywhere we are in the world. 

Carolyn has  over 25 years of experience leading communications and marketing firms as CEO of Interbrand, and launching her own firm  AUTHENTICA, to help organizations lead with authenticity.

A passionate traveler, at age 50, Carolyn sold, donated and auctioned everything she owned to travel full-time  after a transformative trip to Kenya with her daughter.  In 2019, Carolyn was invited to acquire JourneyWoman, the beloved women's travel publication founded in 1994 by the late Evelyn Hannon to help women travel safely and well. With the support of Evelyn’s family, Carolyn has re-energized JourneyWoman, focusing on women’s empowerment through travel.

  2. Solo travel can be scary. Try making a list of all the things that scare you and attempt to conquer each item on that list.  We've all been there, and if you've got fears you're not alone.
  3.  Just take one step, think of one thing that you ca
