In this episode of The Feisty Heroine Podcast, host Rachel Beck sits down with Melissa Rodway—Canadian writer, global traveler, and host of the adventure travel podcast Fly Travel Radio. (@fly_travel_radio)
Melissa shares how solo travel becomes a powerful act of self-trust, personal growth, and freedom—especially for women navigating societal pressure around relationships, timelines, and “settling down.” From the lessons learned on the road to the deep self-reflection that happens far from home, this conversation explores how choosing yourself can be the bravest adventure of all.
We talk about:
What solo travel teaches you about who you really are
How travel reshapes your relationship with the world—and yourself
The pressure women face around relationships, age, and life timelines
Why it’s never too late to dream again or choose a different path
