The Movify Your Life Show: Mindset, Life Coaching, and Life Design for Creatives and Dreamers

In this episode, I talk to travel coach and founder of Sojourner Travels, Brittany Roberts.

We discuss the benefits and incredible experiences you can get when you're teaching on a reservation, how you can have a transformative travel experience without leaving your country, the difference between travelling and sojourning, and how we can respectfully participate in other cultures and work with indigenous-owned businesses.

On today's podcast episode I talk to Patti Shales Lefkos, author of Nepal One Day At A Time: One woman's quest to teach, trek and build a school in the remote Himalaya.

After a successful career in education in Toronto and Vancouver, Patti celebrated her first year of retirement by attending Journalism School in Vancouver… at the age of 60. When the course was completed in April 2007, she and her husband Barry moved to their home at SilverStar Mountain Resort in British Columbia's Okanagan Valley, at which point she started her career as an adventure travel writer. Since 2007 she has published more than two hundred articles in magazines and newspapers, most notably Macleans, The Globe and Mail and the award-winning San Francisco Chronicle travel section. Her inspirational first book, a Himalayan adventure travel memoir with a humanitarian twist, was published in 2020. Nepal One Day At A Time is her story of three months of volunteering in a tiny Himalayan village school and then trekking solo in remote Upper Mustang for the first time at the age of 67. This book also inspired her non-profit of the same name, which raised funds to build a school in Nepal after the 2015 earthquake.

In this episode we talk about Patti's books, her non-profit and fundraising activities, trekking in Nepal, and the importance of trying solo travel in your fifties and beyond.

In this episode, I talk to my travel buddy Sarah Hughes – an award-winning marketer specialising in B2B marketing and generating leads on LinkedIn, as well as an avid traveller and part-time digital nomad.

She set up her first company in 2002, but she was always entrepreneurial, having started her first small business at the age of 12. Now she works with a range of businesses from global brands such as SUEZ through to sole traders. Defining element: they market to other businesses and are lovely to work with.

She is originally from Birmingham in the UK and is thankful to the TV series, Peaky Blinders, for making the Brummie accent trendy! She now lives in the wonderful and quirky town of Totnes, Devon. A nature lover and personal growth junkie, she is into the outdoors, having fun, and making things. She's also an earl grey tea and apple crumble aficionado, and she is a believer in living your best life at every age.

In this episode, we talk about staying in coliving houses, being a solo traveller and digital nomad in your 50s, her favourite mindset and self-development resources, and our own time spent together in Spain and Devon!

In this episode I talk to Judy Bloomberg, author of Always A Traveler, Never A Tourist: In Search Of People and Places on the Road Less Traveled.

Judy has been an intrepid traveller for 50+ years and has explored over 120 countries on all seven continents. Her lifelong fascination with traditional cultures led her to visit people in some of the least-known places on Earth, including Papua New Guinea, Ethiopia, rural Mongolia, and Bhutan.

Whenever possible, she immerses herself in the culture and daily life of the places she visits through village homestays, volunteer work, and participation in the celebrations and life cycle events of the inhabitants. When not travelling, she lives in Massachusetts with her husband, Mark, and plans her next adventure.

In this episode, we talk about how travel has changed over the past 50 years, how we can strive to be travellers (not tourists) when visiting new places, Judy's favourite trips – including her journey to Antarctica, where she saw the belongings left behind by Ernest Shackleton – and her book, Always A Traveler, Never A Tourist, which is full of fascinating photographs from her many, many incredible trips. This episode will certainly inspire you to start travelling in a different way!

In this solo episode, I talk about my takeaways from the recent Expert Empires event held in the Wembley Hilton hotel in London. I went there to see one of my online mentors, Denise Duffield-Thomas, but I came away with so much more – more ideas, more learnings, and more connections. It even reminded me of travelling and staying in co-living houses!
