128: Women's Travel Adventure: Overcoming Fear & Finding Confidence at Any Age

What happens when 25 women—many over 50, many who've never traveled solo—say YES to a life-changing adventure? In this humorous and mighty episode of Girls Talk Healthy Aging, co-hosts Alli Kerr and Shawna Kaminski sit down with three incredible women—Lenora, Kathy, and Kim—who took a bold leap and joined a 10-day Women's Sabbatical to Peru with Julie Rose. What unfolded was more than just a trip… it was transformation. From the breathtaking beauty of Machu Picchu to the intense physical and mental challenge of the 1-Day Inca Trail hike to the Sun Gate, these women share raw, honest stories about stepping outside their comfort zones—and discovering who they truly are on the other side. ✨ In this episode, you'll discover: What holds women back from travel—and how to move past fear and doubt The courage it takes to travel without a spouse or companion for the first time How Lenora overcame resistance at home and chose herself anyway Kim's emotional journey conquering the Inca Trail in her 60s (and why it was one of the hardest things she's ever done) Kathy's pivot when altitude sickness forced her to change plans—and how it led to unexpected joy The truth about "drama" on women's trips—and what actually happens when empowered women come together Why saying YES to adventure in midlife can completely redefine your future These women didn't just travel—they faced fears of the unknown, high altitude, physical limits, social anxiety, and even snakes in the Amazon jungle. And what they found was strength, connection, and a renewed sense of possibility. If you've ever thought: "Maybe someday…" "What if I can't…" "I wish I had someone to go with…" This episode is your sign. Because the truth is—adventure doesn't have an age limit.
