  • From the Bond Across the Pond to the Friend Around the Bend; Let's Get Connected!
    We've talked about what traveling the world and living a fulfilling life filled with experiences can give us. But what is it that we are really seeking out as we go through life? The answer is having valued connections and relationships. Connecting with people is how we grow to understand not only the world but also ourselves. This week, come with us as me as I visit my alma mater, Ohio University, in Athens, Ohio for many traditions with lifelong friends. Today we will talk about how to stay connecting not only with our old friends but also with new faces in new places all around the world as we talk with special guest and creative influencer, Shanay Braxton, as she shares her journeys and experiences with forming connections and communities in Morocco and also right here in Cleveland, Ohio.

Let's get connected!

  • From Hiding to Guiding; Becoming OK with Changing Direction in Pursuit of Living a GREAT Life
    Do you live everyday of your life loving what you do and doing what you love? How is your relationship with yourself and others? For some reason it can be the norm in our society to "just get by." For some reason changing direction in life isn't always looked upon as something admirable. But what if instead of being seen as indecisive or lost, we were seen as brave and bold for recognizing what is weighing us down and having the courage to change course in life? The best way to learn about and experience ourselves and life is by...well...living it ourselves! Today, we bring back special guest Beth Borchers from last season to share her incredible journey in creating a life she loves that fulfills her everyday one year later after she took it in her own power to achieve not just a good life but a great one! We will also talk real ways on how to begin following the music of our own souls everyday in every way. Today, we begin our journey on the road to...well...that's for only us to decide.

  • Wishful Living; Learning to be Present and NOT Indefinitely Postponing Life

    Why is it that it is the norm in our culture to indefinitely postpone our lives in the pursuit of being "prized" some reward at the end? We would never intentionally wish our lives away yet we do it every day when we are wishing our work days and weeks to be over. Missing out on our present life is often the "norm" as we are perpetually looking forward and skipping ahead. It's time to wake up to life and take real steps to achieving that fulfilling and extraordinary life that you deserve. Everyday. Today, you will hear real techniques and insightful words from a life coach who dedicates her life to living and helping others do the same. Purple Hood Adventures is about more than just traveling. It's about living an entire life of what travel gives us. Let's take a look at how!
