“Not everyone who wanders is lost.”
– J.R. R. Tolkein
One of the biggest challenges at midlife is getting unstuck and stepping outside your comfort zone.
It’s not easy, but having new experiences and learning are key to Rock Your Midlife.
In today’s show we explore going within and going without.
First, you’ll learn how to connect with your soul and spirit and how to not absorb other people’s negative energy.
In the second half of the show we’ll share everything you need to know to travel the world ALONE safely! We’ll also discuss how traveling can help you grow and how travel changes as we age.
Buckle up! It’s going to be a great show!
