How immersive travel can reshape identity and habits

A week off does not fix burnout. The same problems are waiting when you get home, and the same person is walking back into them. Stacey Funt is a radiologist who runs a boutique wellness adventure travel company, mostly for women in their 40s through 60s, including a high share of physicians. She discusses the KevinMD article "Why immersive travel may be a powerful tool for behavior change." You will hear the science behind identity-driven behavior change: awe, novelty, supportive groups, meaningful challenge, and a clear before-and-after marker she calls a temporal landmark. She tells the story of a physician who had a benign brain tumor resected and rebuilt herself from post-operative patient to hiker at the front of the pack, and a burnt-out physician at a crossroads who used the trip to make a hard call about her career. You will hear what to do at home when a trip is not on the table: take an awe walk, set a temporal landmark, build a meaningful goal that requires real training.
