Life has a way of changing the script, sometimes by choice and sometimes when we least expect it. In this episode, we’re talking about the art of reinventing yourself through career changes, empty nesting, retirement, entrepreneurship, and all the unexpected seasons in between.

We’ll explore why we sometimes convince ourselves it’s “too late” to make a change, how the experiences behind us can actually prepare us for what’s ahead, and why starting over doesn’t mean starting from scratch.

Whether you’re dreaming about a big change or simply wondering what might be next, this conversation is a reminder that there is no expiration date on growth. Your next chapter might just become your favorite one yet.

Travel mishaps may not be funny in the moment, but they often become the stories we tell for years! In this episode of the GlobeTrotting Trio, we’re sharing the missed flights, lost luggage, wrong hotels, unexpected detours, and travel disasters that didn’t exactly go according to plan. Along the way, we’ll talk about the lessons those moments taught us and why sometimes the best adventures begin when the plan falls apart.

Because someday isn't guaranteed, but today is.

Our New Mantra: Hot Flashes, Cold Coffee, and Who Moved My Memory?

Join the GlobeTrotting Trio as we tackle one of life's biggest plot twists with humor, honesty, and plenty of laughter. We're talking about the real experiences of perimenopause and menopause—the hot flashes, brain fog, sleepless nights, unexpected emotions, and all the surprises no one warned us about. We'll share what's helped us, bust a few myths, and remind every Gen X woman that this isn't the end of the story. It's a new season filled with confidence, freedom, and exciting adventures still waiting to happen.

If we could sit down with our 25 year old selves, what advice would we give? In this episode, the GlobeTrotting Trio shares the life lessons, hard earned wisdom, and perspective that only come from experience. From relationships and careers to money, confidence, boundaries, and travel, we'll discuss the things we spent years learning and why success rarely follows the path we imagined. Join us for an honest conversation about growth, mistakes, and the lessons that helped shape who we are today.

Core Message: Wisdom is often earned the hard way. The lessons we value most today are often the ones life had to teach us through experience.

Long before likes, followers, and algorithms, influence happened through conversations, relationships, and genuine connections. In this episode, the GlobeTrotting Trio takes a fun trip down memory lane, exploring how we shared recommendations, stayed connected, and built trust before social media ever existed. From passing notes in class to flipping through photo albums with friends, we'll discuss why authentic influence has never been about numbers and why real relationships still matter more than ever.

Core Message: Influence isn't about followers. It's about impact.

In this episode of GlobeTrotting Trio, we're exploring one of the most overlooked factors in success: attitude. While strategies, systems, and skills matter, your attitude often determines whether those tools work for you or against you.

We'll discuss the mindset shifts that separate thriving business owners from those who stay stuck, including ownership versus excuses, coachability versus a know it all mindset, long term thinking versus chasing quick wins, gratitude with grit versus entitlement, and abundance versus comparison and scarcity.

We'll also talk about why growth often requires discomfort, how consistency beats occasional bursts of effort, and why solution focused thinking is one of the greatest assets a leader can develop.

Core Message: You do not rise to the level of your strategy. You fall to the level of your attitude. The way you choose to show up each day will either create momentum for your business or quietly become the obstacle standing in your way.

In this episode of GlobeTrotting Trio, we're celebrating the resilience, adaptability, and unique experiences that shaped Generation X. From rotary phones to smartphones, cassette tapes to streaming, and navigating life's challenges with a healthy dose of independence, Gen X has seen it all.

Join us as we reflect on the lessons learned, the obstacles we've overcome, and how many of us have moved beyond simply surviving to truly thriving in this season of life. We'll share stories, laughter, and insights about embracing change, pursuing new dreams, and making the most of the opportunities still ahead.

Core Message: Gen X didn't just survive the changes of the world. We learned how to thrive through them.
