Superstar podcast guest Geneva of Unwrap Your Map is back again!

Our second episode of Travel Snacks with Geneva takes a look at how to pack for extended travel abroad. We discuss tips and tricks for picking the right clothing, types of bags, and how to organize your pack so you can travel light for as long as you need to!

Terrarium Creator and Founder of Bonsai Bottles, John Fitzgerald, joins Allie this week to discuss staying organized with multiple passions and projects and how being prepared and ready to take on new opportunities can lead to success.⁣
⁣
Meet My Guest!
Bonsai Bottles came from humble and frustrating beginnings. My black tabby cat, Vader, mowed down most of my succulent and houseplant collection. At the same time, I was working in the Beer and Wine Industry and seeing many people buy bottles only to drain their sorrows and toss the bottle to repeat the process. ⁣
⁣
These circumstances lead to years of honing the terrarium craft. The plants inside were protected from hungry house cats and provided a much lower maintenance greed decor than a traditional house plant. Thus Bonsai Bottles was born.​⁣
⁣
After two years of creating my process and developing my craft, I formed Bonsai Bottles initially as a Pop-up Terrarium shop. As times changed and circumstances happened, I decided to offer Bonsai Bottles for online purchase and local pickup in the Raleigh area. ⁣

Sobriety Coach Gemma Sheppard joins me on this week's episode to talk about her sobriety journey, living abroad, and dealing with anxiety while traveling.

Meet the Guest:
Gemma is a psychologist turned sobriety coach with a passion for helping people and yoga! 

Gemma has spent the last two-to-three years breaking up with alcohol, slowly but surely. Like anything in life, it hasn't been linear. It's been a journey of ups and downs. 

Gemma's goal as a coach is to help you get from where you are now to where you want to be.

Gemma believes that if you want to carry on drinking, you can. You need to explore and test your boundaries to decide if you want to keep alcohol as a bit on the side or entirely ditch it for good! She helps you analyze your beliefs, set goals, anticipate challenges, and identify your resources.
