033: Paddleboarding Across the Ocean for a Cause with Romi Wallach of The Daily Drip

In this episode of Transform with Travel, Romi Wallach joins me to talk about her journey from moving her young family from Toronto to Miami to co-founding The Daily Drip, a platform that empowers South Florida businesswomen, and exemplifies how travel and challenging oneself can lead to profound personal growth.Romi’s journey shifts when her family decided to move from Toronto to Miami. Unlike the typical migration pattern of retirees heading south, Romi and her husband made the move when their children were just toddlers, searching for new opportunities and adventures. This leap into the unknown was driven by a desire for growth and change.In 2021, amidst navigating personal challenges, Romi co-founded The Daily Drip. The platform, envisioned as a beacon for South Florida's businesswomen, offers content, resources, and community support, aiming to empower women on their journey to reaching their maximum potential. This initiative, rooted in the spirit of community and upliftment, mirrors Romi's own life philosophy.Romi's philanthropic spirit is deeply rooted in her family's legacy. From a young age, involvement in charitable endeavors was a way of life. This ingrained sense of giving back, underpinned by the Jewish principle of Sadaqah, has guided her actions and choices, from spearheading charity events to her passionate involvement with "The Crossing for Cystic Fibrosis." Romi’s story is one of transformation through travel, challenges, and community engagement. It underscores the idea that growth often comes from stepping out of our comfort zones, embracing new experiences, and contributing to something larger than ourselves. Through her journey, Romi demonstrates that when we face life’s currents together, we can navigate towards a future of growth and shared achievements.We talk about:00:00 Intro02:21 Romi's Big Move: From Toronto to Miami05:12 Building a New Life and Community in South Florida08:22 Romi's Philanthropic Journey and the Power of Giving Back10:22 The Inspiring Challenge of Crossing for Cystic Fibrosis20:32 Training, Challenges, and the Mental Game of Endurance Paddling29:54 The Unforgettable Beach Landing Experience31:28 The Emotional Rollercoaster of Post-Challenge Life35:31 The Healing Power of Nature and the Ocean38:31 Family Adventures and the Joy of Shared Experiences43:55 Cultivating a Culture of Philanthropy in the Family44:51 Building a Community Through The Daily Drip50:11 Travel Insights and Final ThoughtsHelp Fundraise for The Crossing for CF:https://www.classy.org/fundraiser/4830153Connect with RomiInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/romiuncensored/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/romi.wallach  LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/romi-wallach-56027819/Connect with The Daily DripLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/the-daily-drip/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/thedailydripofficialInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/thedailydripofficial/Website: https://www.thedailydrip.com/Connect with meInstagram: www.instagram.com/kelly.tollidayInstagram www.instagram.com/risingnatureretreats Website: https://risingnatureretreats.com Mentioned in this episode:Rising Nature RetreatsByte & CoffeeMention "Transform with Travel" at checkout for 10% off your order at Byte & Coffee in Lighthouse Point, Florida.Byte & CoffeeMentioned in this episode:Child & CompanyByte & CoffeeMention "Transform with Travel" at checkout for 10% off your order at Byte & Coffee in Lighthouse Point, Florida.Byte & Coffee
