From Sri Lanka Retreats To Tech Boardrooms: A Journey Of Mindful Travel with Deborah Seminario (USA)

Send us Fan MailWhat if the most meaningful journey you take this year is the one that brings you back to yourself? We sit down with Deborah Seminario—global sales leader, language enthusiast, and lifelong traveller—to explore how moving through the world can shift your inner life, strengthen relationships, and make everyday choices feel lighter and more deliberate.Deborah traces a path from a childhood shaped by a TWA flight attendant mum to a career that criss‑crossed the globe, including years liaising with teams in China. She shares how languages like Spanish, French, and basic Mandarin and Japanese became tools for empathy, not just convenience. Then we go deep into a two‑week meditation and yoga retreat in rural Sri Lanka: open‑air huts, cold showers, no electricity, and a village community running an Ayurvedic clinic. Without Wi‑Fi or routine noise, she and her partner found time for honest questions about love, midlife, and parenting—while fellow travellers from around the world faced illness, divorce, and change with uncommon courage.We also contrast mindful, rustic travel with the pleasures of Thailand’s cities and islands, showing how both simplicity and comfort can be purposeful choices. For anyone worried about budgets, we break down staycations and micro‑resets that cost little but return a lot: a day with the phone off, a drive to see an old friend, or a seaside walk that clears the mind. Along the way, we explore how even a few local phrases can transform interactions, reveal cultural cues about hierarchy and gender, and turn transactions into conversations. If you’re craving clarity, connection, or just a better way to rest, this conversation offers practical ideas and warm, lived‑in wisdom.If the show resonates, follow, share with a friend who needs a reset, and leave a quick review—what’s one place that helped you hear yourself more clearly?Music, lyrics, guitar and singing by Dr Ariel Rosita KingTeach me to live one day at a timewith courage love and a sense of pride.Giving me the ability to love and accept myselfso I can go and give it to someone else.Teach me to live one day at a time.....Support the showThe Business of LifeDr Ariella (Ariel) Rosita KingOriginal Song, "Teach Me to Live one Day At A Time"written, guitar and vocals by Dr. Ariel Rosita KingDr King Solutions (USA Office)1629 K St, NW #300, Washington, DC 20006, USA, +[email protected]
