In this episode, I sit down with Susan Heinrich from Midlife Globetrotter to explore how travel can be a transformative tool, especially for women navigating midlife.

Susan shares her early adventures in Nepal and reflects on her personal growth through solo travel. We discuss the importance of self-differentiation in relationships, prioritizing our own dreams, and how travel can be a powerful form of self-care.

Whether you’re seeking inspiration or practical tips, this episode encourages you to slow down, embrace adventure, and prioritize yourself on your journey.

• "I needed to return to parts of myself."

  "You deserve to take care of yourself just because you deserve it."

I loved recording this episode—so cozy up for an inspiring conversation on travel, self-care, and finding joy through new adventures!
