We all have tower moments, or catalytic events (canon events, if you're Gen Z). But do you stay in your lane or do you use that Pompeii-like momentum to transform?

In this episode, we talk with Belle, a multi-hypenate entrepreneur, manifesting coach, marketing whiz, and all around Boss Babe

Together, we'll discuss our shared experiences growing up under pressure as high-achieving firstborn daughters of immigrants, Belle's multiple lives as she forged her career path from psychology to fashion to politics, and ultimately, the beauty she found in her breakdown and her resultant spiritual awakening. Don't call it a comeback, it's a revolution.

It's the first of two back-to-back episodes on manifesting and the first of our monthly series with Belle where we discuss how we all have the power to live out our dreams and are the authors of our own stories.

Today's episode is jam-packed. My guest, Kate (@katherinehere) and I are going in on her 30th birthday trip to Costa Rica. We learned that there's more to be on the look out for than active volcanos and wildlife...

...like touchy tour guides and... wet rocks?

Let's just say we were not the same women walking out of this trip that we were walking in. It's a discussion of what it means to turn 30, hilarious play-by-play of 8 days in this beautiful, lush country and ultimately, a lesson in knowing when to rest.

It's episode 3 of the Busy Gallivanting Podcast and we have our first guest— Kate (@katherinehere on IG).

Kate and I have traveled together for over 7 years now and we've got our system down pat. This episode is our origin story— how we met, our iconic trip together to Cancun, and the first of many chaotic instances that have made up our friendship.

We're taking a walk down memory lane and revisiting what two 23-year-olds who hung out once do on an international trip together for the first time. Hot resort guys, archeological sites, and tequila... what could possibly go wrong?

Mamma Mia, here we go! To the land of olive oil, souvlaki, and of course... freddocinos

We're off to the Greek Isles in this episode and I talk about how my first experience in Greece is with a huge group of 40 people.

It's also the first episode where I talk about cruising as our main mode of travel through the islands. I tell you why, give you my honest opinion about hot spots like Santorini and Mykonos, as well as reveal hidden gems like Ephesus in Turkey.

It's a trip of mythic proportions and unexpected connections.

It's the holiday season and I'm offering my best advice for how to make it through any travel plans this time of year.

As well as my best tips for how to make the most out of the holidays even if you're not getting on a plane anytime, soon.

Grab a cup of tea, cocoa, egg nog, whatever fills your seasonal fancy. We're talking holidays and truly making it the most wonderful time of the year.

Welcome to the first episode of the Busy Gallivanting Podcast. This is your host, Leslie, speaking.

Our flight time today will be approximately 35 minutes long and the mood will be chill. I'm letting you get to know me before we get into the thick of it.

So sit back, relax, and pretend we're two strangers in a rom-com having our meet cute in 25A and 25B. It's time for takeoff.
