Laura is the host of the Women on the Road Podcast. She found out about the opportunity as she was searching for community while building out her camper van with her partner Shane. When they hit the road they planned to live in the van for about 6-12 months. A few months into their experience they knew they wanted to be nomadic for a lot longer than that. She is a TRUE Wander Woman!

Laura still runs the podcast which is a branch of www.she-explores.com. I've listened to both of those podcasts myself and LOVE the advice and support I get from them as a woman who loves to wander!

In 2015 I did a yoga teacher training. During that training, we did a goal-setting workshop. We identified our purpose and learned how to set goals that manifested that purpose.

Then we did a visualization exercise where we were asked to visualize our lives 10 years into the future. I loved what my vision was. It included a family and a life split between the tropics and spring skiing.

But as the universe worked to help me manifest this vision I resisted. I kept feeling called towards being a healer. Healing people through the power of nature and shared energies. I wanted to run away.

It scared me because I knew it was going to be an incredible challenge. I avoided math and science in school, how was I going to be a healer?

Am I REALLY about to spend 4 years and $167,000 becoming a healer?

Relaxing mind + body meditation for about 8-10 minutes

Using our breath we will work from our toes to the crown of our head. Inhaling to tighten and contract, exhaling to release and relax.

This meditation and breathwork combination is great right before bedtime to relax the body and mind together.

Namaste and Enjoy!

Dani and I discuss the joys and struggles associated with launching a community-based business, how Mtn Chicks got started, and a bit about her background as an adventurer!

In this podcast, I discuss a common objection to my favorite movie The Secret. I recently was speaking with a friend and he mentioned that he doesn’t like that the messaging revolves around financial success and material things. I address this objection in the podcast because I agree…money is NOT everything!

I also talk about where I learned about Mini-Retirements and how you can start planning for your own mini-retirement.

I talk about my partner, Tucker, and his relationship with money. I explain that his attittude towards money influenced my decision to start a business.

I later spoke to him about this topic and I would like to share, in his own words, how he would describe his financial choices. In the opening episode, I shared that I never want to embarrass my friends or family. It’s important that you hear my perspective, but I’d like for you to hear theirs as well.

“I might dispute that I’m just now establishing myself as a financially reliable person…I just made a large investment in my education and my immediate priority upon graduating wasn’t to get the highest paying job available so that I could pay back debt. Instead, it was to work for myself and seek experiences over savings. I’ve certainly learned some lessons the hard way throughout the last 5 years they’ve minimally contributed to my overall debt, but they’ve also positioned me to be successful with this next venture” 

-Tucker Ballister

You can check out the venture he’s referring to HERE.

I also talk about the music festival where I first learned about ecommerce and the time I decided to wanted to work online.

Corinne and I had a fantastic conversation. She told me about how she and Atlas got started with their world wanderings and what their plans are for the future.

A bit of background on Corinne. She tried community college, hated it, and left after two weeks. She became a celebrity raw food chef but was working a ton, and wanted to spend more time with her son, Atlas, and travel the world. She booked a ticket to Mexico and went WOOFing with Atlas. Corinne then shifted gears and became a self-taught travel photographer, working with AirBnBs, hotels, and attractions.

An interview with Corinne Rice and her son Atlas. Hear about how they started their world wanderings, what it's like to travel with a 4-year-old as a single mom, and how Corinne manifests incredible trips and an incredible life for her and her son.

Learn how I manifested an acceptance into my dream school and the perfect, supportive, and adventurous partner. I'm now applying that same technique and the same principles towards manifesting an online business that will put me through grad school.

This slow-moving yin yoga class will open your heart and stretch your shoulders. Wrap up with a self-love and open love meditation focused on creating inner peace and being a shining light for others. Let's bring more love into your world!
