In this first episode I chat with Sophia Khalid, founder of Girls Group Holiday. Travelling changed Sophia’s life and she’s now on a mission to empower other women to realise their potential through travel. As well as travel together, she aims to create a positive platform for women to connect, create friendships and support one another.

Following Saima’s battle with mental illness in 2014, Saima realised she’d spent her life holding back so much unexplored potential due to limiting beliefs and self-sabotaging behaviours. She spent the next years investing heavily in her own development and growth. Now she educates and shares the knowledge that she has learnt to transform the lives of others. Helping them live authentically and setting them off on the road to happiness.
In 2019 she created the Event and Podcast ‘The Trailblazers Journey’. She was also shortlisted for an award for 'Mental Health Awareness' at The Health Bloggers Community in London and she has spoken in front of hundreds about Health, Wellness and Personal development.
