Just wrapped up an amazing chat with Melina about our incredible trip through Sicily and Puglia, and I had to share.

We’re talking crispy cannoli, velvety gelato, and some of the most amazing wines I’ve ever tasted—yes, volcanic wines are a thing and they’re magical.  Puglia was all dreamy coastlines and fresh pasta, and Sicily? Let’s just say I’m still thinking about the sunsets and those secret little food spots Melina showed me.

If you’re craving some travel inspo or just want to live vicariously through our foodie adventures, check out the video. You’ll be packing your bags before you know it.

Get ready to indulge your senses on this delectable adventure to Sicily!

Led by the captivating Melina, a true Italian goddess, this trip promises to transport you to a world of sensual pleasures.

Imagine strolling through the vibrant markets of Palermo, your nose tantalized by the aromas of freshly fried arancini and sweet gelato.

Melina will be your passionate guide, introducing you to the hidden culinary gems that will have your taste buds singing.

Then, venture into the rolling hills, where you'll be treated to an intimate olive oil tasting amidst the gnarled, centuries-old trees. As you savor each drop, let the flavors melt on your tongue and the tranquility of the countryside wash over you.

And let's not forget the wine! Get ready to indulge in the bold, volcanic-infused vintages of Taormina, as you soak in the stunning views from the hilltops. This is the stuff that dreams (and romantic getaways) are made of.

So join us, and let Melina be your sensual guide to the flavors, colors, and seductive charms of Sicily.

Joanna Jepsen shares how her trip to Puglia, Italy with Olegana Travel Boutique (also known as ‘the Sisterhood of the Travelling Focaccias’) was a once-in-a-lifetime, transformative experience.

In this episode, Joanna Jepsen and I talked about giving yourself permission to take a trip of a lifetime after getting a cancer diagnosis. We discussed that even though it may feel like the world is crashing down, it’s so important to keep a positive attitude and outlook on life, and how this trip was the best kind of medicine she could have given herself at that moment.

We chatted about the amazing group of women who were strangers at first and became friends during this trip - enjoying each others’ company, uplifting one another, cooking together, and sharing laughter as the best medicine.

Renee Hribar

Permission to be a mother hustler and pencil in “well days” on the calendar.

Renee Hribar is a sales coach and a TEDx speaker who works specifically with women entrepreneurs.

As her sales consulting business grew over the years, Renee had the courage to ask herself honestly – “what type of life do I want to live?”

In this episode, we explored:

How travel is truly a form of self-care and how Renee gave herself permission to travel to Europe for 6 weeks straight with her family

What it means to be your own boss and a “mother hustler” at home or at work

How travel teaches our kids resilience, adaptability, and positively shapes their lives

If we can make time for sick days, why can’t we make time for “well days” too?

Give yourself permission to pencil in time for volunteering, travel, spa appointments – whatever it is that fills your cup.

A special bonus!

Renee shared a free mini sales course with some simple practices we can all use, regardless of what role you have professionally – check out the link below!

Sharon Thorp

In this episode, Sharon Thorp and I explored life after divorce and the courage it takes to give yourself permission to break ‘the rules’ and do the things you didn’t think were possible on your own.

Sharon shared her story of giving herself permission to live her best life, how she overcame the fear of traveling by herself, and the beauty of meeting others with a like mind and a like heart.

Age is a gift that's not given to everybody, so Sharon’s advice is to totally embrace it, do what makes you happy and to learn that after decades of caregiving, you are important, too.

Happiness is a choice so let’s choose to embrace our inner selves and take that trip, eat that cake, and buy that dress!

In this episode, Gabriella Ribeiro and I explored the importance of strategic planning and preparation in achieving personal goals, such as traveling with family. We discussed overcoming limiting beliefs and excuses that often hold women back from pursuing their ambitions. Additionally, we highlighted the value of delegating tasks to create more time for personal endeavors and how a thoughtful cost-benefit analysis can support decisions like hiring help. We also touched on the importance of taking personal time away from family to recharge, fostering stronger relationships upon return, and embracing the idea that investing in experiences for personal well-being is not something to feel guilty about.
