Healing, Hustle, and a Possible Nude Beach

What this episode covers

1) Episode Summary In this lively and deeply honest episode of The Blind Chick, Penn and Moses Street welcome back world traveler, healer, and future travel coach Orly Corcos for a conversation that moves from hilarious beach banter to profound reflections on healing, courage, and self-discovery. Orly shares her background as the only Canadian-born member of her Moroccan and Israeli family, her move to Fort Lauderdale, and her lifelong love of travel. What begins with humor quickly turns into a powerful testimony as she opens up about chronic pain, long-term prescribed narcotic use, ICU scares, and the holistic healing journey that changed her life. She explains how travel became more than a getaway—it became a tool for emotional, physical, and spiritual restoration. The conversation explores how Orly used retreats, holistic health practices, plant medicine, and adventurous travel experiences to reclaim her identity and rebuild her life. She speaks candidly about fear, surrender, inner healing, and the difficult but necessary decisions that followed—including leaving her marriage, stepping away from corporate life, and choosing a new path rooted in truth and freedom. Penn, Moses, and Orly also talk about food as healing, the difference between merely seeing and truly experiencing, and the unique confidence that can come from traveling as a blind woman. Orly shares stories of skydiving, solo travel to Bali and Thailand, walking the Camino with her guide dog, and preparing for an upcoming trip to the Galápagos through accessible travel company Travelize. This episode is funny, freeing, and full of wisdom. At its heart, it is a reminder that our greatest limitations are often not physical, but internal—and that courage, healing, and joy are still available when we decide to move forward anyway. 2) Contact Info Guest / Featured Contact Orly Corcos Facebook: Orly Corcos Facebook / Instagram: The Blind Chef Aftersight Contact Email: [email protected] Phone: (720) 712-8856 Website: Aftersight.org Producer Jonathan Price Podcast and Program Producer, Aftersight Email: [email protected] 3) Show Credits Show: The Blind Chick Hosts: Penn Street and Moses Street Guest: Orly Corcos Producer: Jonathan Price Organization: Aftersight 4) Chapter Markers 00:00 – Penn and Moses open with humor and travel banter 02:00 – Welcoming Orly Corcos back to The Blind Chick 03:12 – Orly shares her family background and move to Florida 06:44 – Blind Travel Summit, Waymo, and autonomous travel freedom 11:16 – Why Penn and Moses wanted Orly back for a full episode 12:54 – Travel as healing, expansion, and personal restoration 14:52 – Orly opens up about chronic pain and narcotic dependence 17:46 – Her first holistic healing retreat and the turning point 20:17 – Doctors, blindness, and being underestimated 23:38 – Skydiving, fear, and learning to trust herself 27:11 – Experiencing beauty beyond eyesight 30:23 – Penn asks about ayahuasca and deep healing work 34:02 – Safety, vulnerability, and navigating healing as a blind woman 36:18 – What Orly gained most from the experience 41:49 – Divorce, freedom, memoir writing, and becoming a travel coach 43:53 – Food as healing and Orly’s love of cooking 49:24 – Solo travel, Bali, Thailand, and traveling without fear 52:20 – The Camino, guide dogs, and accessibility abroad 53:05 – What’s next: the Galápagos with Travelize 56:09 – Orly’s message to anyone afraid to try something new 57:41 – How to follow Orly and stay connected 58:58 – Closing jokes, gratitude, listener feedback, and final encouragement
