Unmapped Conversations, Part 2: Stories of Bravery, Belonging, and Bold Adventures


Listen Later

In Part 2 of Unmapped Conversations, Lizbeth gathers five contributors from Unmapped: Solo Women Travelers on Bold Journeys of Healing, Resilience, and Self-Discovery to explore how travel shapes identity, courage, and connection. Guests include Kathy Kirkpatrick, Tammy Horvath, Phyllis Skoy, Kate Colbert, and Anne Buckley, each offering a unique perspective rooted in life experience, personal healing, and a determination to live with intention.

Each contributor shares wisdom for women who want to travel but feel hesitant. From trusting that most people are kind, to saying yes more often, to carrying creature comforts, to recognizing that emotional safety begins long before a suitcase is packed, their insights offer reassurance and empowerment.

This conversation also revisits why half of Unmapped’s royalties support the YWCA of Knoxville and the Tennessee Valley. While the world offers beautiful possibilities, intimate partner violence remains a universal threat. Travel, self-trust, community, and awareness all play roles in building safer lives.

Unmapped remains a reminder that healing, confidence, and connection often begin the moment a woman chooses to step toward something new.

THREE KEY TAKEAWAYS

You will learn:
 • How women rebuild confidence through unexpected and intentional travel
 • Why saying yes to new experiences often leads to healing and expanded identity
 • How resilience grows when women trust themselves, seek community, and embrace possibility.
