Episode 14

A couple of weeks ago I did an episode where I went over how to plan a trip to Walt Disney World whether it was your first trip or first trip back in awhile and without kids. I included my 10 things I think you should do on your trip but wanted to rerecord them for the standalone episode you are listening to now. This is for those that have the planning down but still want to here what I think helps create the quintessential trip to Disney, especially as an adult.

Episode 13

In this episode, I speak with Julie Gaver about group travel for women. Julie is an entrepreneurial speaker, corporate trainer, and coach. She is well known for her high-energy presentations and ability to connect with audiences in memorable ways. A master storyteller, Julie uses a witty blend of theatrics and experience to make learning fun!

Julie is also the author of the three-part women’s book series Must Love Shoes and challenges her readers to see life’s meaning, lessons, and humor. The launch of her books stimulated such interest that Julie ultimately created a niche market designed for women, which encompasses personal and professional development opportunities, domestic and international retreats, book club discussions, and unique social events designed to bring women together for fun, learning, and camaraderie.

In addition, she is the proud founder and director of “Soles of Love in the Garden,” a passion project which has collected and distributed over 27,000 new shoes and winter boots to local children in need over the past twelve years.

Episode 12

On this week’s episode, I provide you with some information to help plan your trip to Walt Disney World if it is your first trip there or the first time back since taking your kids. I will also share what I think are the top 10 things you should do at Walt Disney World. We have been Disney Vacation Club Members for over 15 years and have been visiting WDW every year since our daughter was 2. We have experienced Disney before parenthood, throughout all the stages of parenthood, and now as an empty nester. Are we experts? No, but we love sharing the knowledge we have.
