Bloom Where You are Planted, and Then Travel the World with Jeannie Ralston

Jeannie Ralston is the founder of Next Tribe, a travel company that offers transformative retreats for women over 45. Jeannie shares how she leapt from adventure to adventure starting as a journalist in New York City to a lavender farmer in Texas, and eventually to a globetrotting entrepreneur. Her adventures have taken her from the rolling hills of rural Texas to the vibrant streets of San Miguel Allende, where she homeschooled her children while exploring the world with her husband, a National Geographic Photographer. Jeannie shares how she chose to deal with the unexpected challenges of rural Texas life and became the Lavender queen through her thriving lavender farm business, while also creating the community she desperately needed. All of Jeannie's life experiences have shaped her vision for Next Tribe, where she curates retreats that go beyond typical travel experiences. On a Next Tribe retreat participants engage with local women and immerse themselves in the culture of their destinations. Listen in as Jeannie shares her story,  favorite travel destinations, including Turkey and Morocco, and how her retreats create lasting bonds. https://nexttribe.com/ ****************************************************************************** Other Topics Discussed: The Unlikely Lavender Queen: A Memoir of Unexpected Blosssoming  Tamara De Lempicka Art Exhibit at the SF De Young Museum The Thing About Jellyfish by Ali Benjamin The Thing About Jellyfish at Berkeley Rep Limperatrice   PLEASE HELP US  OUT BY SHARING THIS EPISODE WITH A FRIEND!
