#18 What Solo Travel Can Teach You About You

In this episode, I reflect back on my 8 week solo trip to Europe and how travel can teach us about ourselves. Why it felt less like a vacation and more like necessary medicine for my life. How traveling alone helped me reconnect with parts of myself I felt disconnected from. I share how solo travel can be a fast track for self-discovery, self-respect, and actually doing the things you say you want to do “someday.”   In this episode: Why my two-month Europe trip felt essential for my growth, not like running away The difference between enjoying alone time and traveling solo How traveling alone creates space to hear your intuition again The confidence that comes from doing the things you’ve always dreamed of Why your trip doesn’t have to be extreme, long, or far away to change you What to consider emotionally if you’re afraid of loneliness or feeling untethered Sponsored by Integrative Counseling + Coaching If this episode makes you feel that pull toward something bigger and bold, a trip, a reset, a new chapter, or simply wanting to feel more connected to yourself.
