  • A Dream Come True

    Have you ever heard of the phrase "confidence is the key to success?"  

    I do believe Confidence is a huge factor to success. If you think you can, you condition your mind to do it. It is important that your actions are intentional. However, truthfully speaking, this is easier said than done. There's just too many obstacles, sometimes physically, yet most of the times these are just in our minds. We doubt ourselves. We self-sabotage, thinking we are not capable and we are not worth it.   

    If you can relate to this, then you should join me as I chat with our next guest speaker, Tiffany_Varpalotai. She is a very smart, capable and challenge-seeking woman who has every right to be confident and proud, but just like most of us, she doubted herself. Tiffany was not born in a privileged family but during her university years, she was given a chance to spend a summer in the US as a kids camp counsellor, and that is where her view changed. With her exposure to different backgrounds, she realized she can be whatever she wants to be. Everything is possible.  Now, with her being able to encompass that stage, her mission is to help ladies start believing and stop belittling themselves. She says that women have to "stop over-analysing, over-thinking and over-planning and finally start taking actions and become an unstoppable female leader."

  • The last wake-up call

    Do you feel lost nowadays? Maybe, you’ve experienced a transition recently and you’re feeling lonely, sad, aimless.⁠⁠

    ⁠⁠
    Today's guest Joulie Philloe has been there. After working as a Lance Corporal in the Danish Army, she felt that she has no purpose in life. Describing herself as a deep, sensitive spiritual soul, Joulie, in her own words, felt empty, lost and inadequate.⁠⁠
    ⁠⁠
    Every travel she went on opened her up. ⁠⁠ She met the most amazing spiritual couple at Maui Hawaii, a gorgeous spiritual entrepreneur and real estate lady in Las Vegas. They welcomed her, made her feel loved, wanted and accepted. She was closer to her real self, her free-spirited essence without labels or restrictions. Don’t we all want to feel this in life?
    ⁠⁠
    She says we're all one and have so much to learn from one another. Kindness is the best gift that we can gift each other.  She experienced this when she was her worst self with her PTSD. Traveling helped her get out of her own inner imprisonment…⁠⁠
    ⁠⁠
    Joulie is a Danish high-performance mentor and behavioral transformation expert. Over the years, she has helped +6.000 therapists, psychologists, coaches and aware spiritual leaders upgrade their practices with deep transformational therapy work sessions. ⁠⁠

  • Redefine your perspectives

    Have you ever had a trip or lived some place where you had to hide your identity because people over there would be biased?⁠⁠

    ⁠⁠
    What perspective does this situation bring to a person?⁠⁠
    ⁠⁠
    My next guest is Leah Zimmerman who has traveled to many places where she had to hide her Jewish identity. She has many stories about friends who stopped seeing her when she announced that she was Jewish, prejudices that she faced everyday life…
    ⁠⁠
    Sometimes we can feel like we are living in a bubble because everyone around us has the same values like us; freedom, independence, toleration, manner... However, when we come out of that bubble, all the people in the world, the point where humanity has come, hits like a ton of bricks. Traveling the world changes how you see the world.
    ⁠⁠
    Leah is a certified executive coach, family business advisor and intergenerational resolving conflict expert

  • It's time to slow down

    How many vacation days could you take while working? 1 week?10 days? Or just weekends? And, when you take it, can you unplug yourself from all the work you have to do?

    ⁠
    I know how hard it can be to take a vacation and walk away from all the work you must do. Even, if you take this time off, maybe you check your phone, e-mails, or you spend some “productive time” even on vacation.⁠
    ⁠
    But, at the same time, you know you need this time to renew yourself and regain your energy.
    ⁠
    My guest on The Travel Coach Nuria Rodriguez used to be a “workaholic”, not taking so many vacations. While using those days, she was taking some courses, trainings instead of disconnecting.
    ⁠
    In 2018, she got ill and while doing some practices with plants she realized that she needed a break. She took all December off and went 3 weeks to India and 1 week to Spain
    ⁠
    It’s not easy to overcome the monkey chatter of “you’re wasting time”, “you’re not productive”, “look how much work you need to do”, but all the energy that you receive on return is so worth it.
    ⁠
    If you’re working and wondering how you can spend your vacations with “me time”, listen to this episode.⁠⁠⁠

  • Finding home

    An architect, lecturer and researcher Tamara Rogic found the home in herself.

    ⁠⁠
    It was not easy. ⁠⁠
    ⁠⁠
    Originally from Croatia, Tamara never felt she belong to her place and she believed that by moving she’ll find home. ⁠⁠
    ⁠⁠
    She moved to Zagreb for study but still didn’t feel the belonging. She thought the problem might be Croatia then… ⁠⁠
    ⁠⁠
    She moved to the UK at the age of 30, but after 4 years there, it still didn’t feel right.⁠⁠
    ⁠⁠
    Travelling itself is a spiritual thing to look inside more, though it can sometimes lead you to look deeper. Because wherever you go, you may not find what you are looking for⁠⁠
    ⁠⁠
    Before moving to Netherlands, her cousin introduced her to “body therapy”. This is where she understood what’s the sense of belonging. It was within herself, in her body, in her heart. That’s where home is.
    ⁠⁠
    Now she enjoys traveling for experiences, but she is not chasing “belonging” anymore
    ⁠⁠
    Don't miss this episode. Tamara will share some quick tools to help you to re-connect with your body!

  • Multigenerational Travel

    Multigenerational travel.

    ⁠⁠
    Have you heard of this term? Or have you ever been interested in travelling with your big family?⁠⁠
    ⁠⁠
    Trish Gastineau is a luxury travel concierge passionate about organizing multigenerational trips (grandchildren, parents, grandparents etc.) for families!⁠⁠
    ⁠⁠

    Imagine that: Usually when the grandparents call over, the grandchildren are busy with their schedules, playing video games… When the grandchildren visit them, they are at home, having a dinner, talking about the same things. They don’t learn or experience anything together. They don’t spend quality time together. ⁠⁠

    ⁠⁠
    Trish encourages multigenerational travel for such occasions. She also helps with teenagers who don’t feel like traveling with their families by introducing activities that they would feel attracted to. One of the aspects of travelling is helping to rebuild and strengthen family ties.
