Conscious Tourism with KellyAnn Daubach

Send Couture Conversations a textWhat if the wellness you’ve been chasing isn’t the wellness you actually need? Lindsay sits down with KellyAnn Daubach—former Fortune 500 leader, registered dietitian, and founder of Conscious Tourism—to unpack how a life built on achievement collided with emotion, motherhood, and two rounds of burnout. The conversation traces the moment she traded productivity metrics for nervous system literacy and turned travel into a powerful tool for healing, connection, and grounded leadership.KellyAnn shares the origin story of Conscious Tourism, the “third child” she built with her husband: device-light retreats, micro-gatherings in nature, and mother–daughter weekends designed to lower stimulation and raise presence. We talk about what really happens at a retreat—drumming barefoot on the land, gentle movement as medicine, whole foods as nourishment, and honest conversations that make room for resistance and repair. She brings her systems background to the heart-work, explaining how safety, inclusivity, and operational rigor create sustainable, repeatable experiences that people trust.Together we explore a wider shift in wellness. As quick fixes and weight-loss breakthroughs become commonplace, many discover they want something deeper: longevity, legacy, and relationships that feel alive. KellyAnn's 2026 vision blends scale with soul—elevating local collaborators, inviting families back to farms and beaches, and creating spaces where people remember how to breathe, feel, and belong. If you’ve ever wondered how to keep the retreat feeling when you get home, you’ll hear practical ways to anchor joy and calm in daily life without chasing someone else’s routine.Curious to experience travel as healing rather than escape?
