#67 - Release What Holds You Back To Travel & Tips to Head to Your New Destination

Is there a trip — or a dream — that you've been saying "someday" to for so long it almost doesn't feel real anymore?What if the guilt you feel about choosing yourself isn't the truth — but just a story you were handed, and never thought to question? In this rich, grounded conversation, Kena sits down with Maria Kamau — Kenyan-born travel writer, ICF certified coach, and founder of Travel with McKay — to explore what's really behind the trips we never take. Together, they unpack the guilt, the fear, the "I'm waiting for my friend," the mental baggage we carry across borders — and why stepping away, even briefly, might be the most powerful thing a midlife woman can do for herself and everyone around her. 🦋 You'll Discover:Why the guilt and the "someday" aren't really about travel — they're about a woman still waiting for permission to choose herself.How identity comes from doing, not deciding — and why one small trip can shift how you see yourself.What solo travel actually feels like from the inside — and the practical first steps to go from scared to gone. 💜 Coming Home Question:What is one thing — a trip, a dream, a desire — that you've been waiting for permission to say yes to?
