Wanderlust at 35+

When you hit a roadblock in life or you experience a major life change such as a divorce, becoming an empty nester, or even as you hit a milestone birthday, you may feel like you need a reset. A transformational travel experience may be just what you need to support you through this pivotal time.

In this episode, you'll meet my friend and Transformational Travel Coach, Crunch Ranjani. Through inspiring stories and insights of how travel can awaken your true self, you'll learn the power of transformational travel. 

I believe we grow through what we go through and Crunch does a beautiful job of highlighting how travel can support you through those life transitions by taking the lessons and shedding expectations. This enriching conversation is both permission-giving and encouraging to allow yourself to travel and rediscover who you are in a place where nobody knows you.

Traveling gives you the space to listen to your own voice, explore what lights you up, and tap into your deepest desires. Crunch is on a mission to help others take advantage of the power of transformational travel, especially during big life transitions.

Listen in as we discuss how you can rediscover or reimagine who you are through transformational travel.

What's your philosophy about age? Is it really just a number? Let's talk about the weird dynamics of age while traveling abroad and the single life.

In this Dating Diaries episode, I'm sharing my experiences on the dynamics of age and finding your forever person while traveling abroad. Considering my son is 23, it makes me very aware of the age of men who hit on me but it doesn't seem to matter as much to them.

For me, age has always mattered but I think my youthful energy and the activities I enjoy,  tend to attract younger men in the dating pool—especially abroad. So has the last few years of traveling and dating changed my perspective?

Listen in and then send me a message over on IG, I'd love to hear your thoughts on dating outside of your age-range comfort zone!
