How to Actually Live the Life You Always Wanted with Laura Ericson

What if the life you were supposed to build was never the one you actually wanted?In this episode of the Travel and Transformation podcast, I talk with Laura Ericson, group travel curator, content creator, and founder of a company built from nothing after divorce became the unexpected doorway to a completely different life.Laura didn't ease into this. She walked out of a 14-year career in higher education on a Friday and was her own boss by Monday with no email list, no website, no clients. What she built from that point, leading over 350 solo travelers across eight countries, came down to one thing: she didn't stop.If you've ever wondered whether the leap is worth it, felt the gap between the life you're living and the one you're curious about, or wanted to travel somewhere "scary" but talked yourself out of it this conversation is for you.TOPICS DISCUSSED:What nobody tells you before you quit your job to start a businessHow Laura got her first clientsWhy unknown doesn't mean dangerous and the real reason we fear certain destinationsWhat it takes to build a following when you hate being on cameraHow she curates trips that make travelers feel like insiders, not outsidersThe truth about "ethical" animal tourism Connect with Laura onInstagram | www.instagram.com/lolawhiskeyFacebook | www.facebook.com/thelauraericsonTikTok | www.tiktok.com/@thelauraericsonLinkedIn | www.linkedin.com/in/thelauraericsonWant to learn more about Laura’s work?

Just because you're not familiar with a place doesn't automatically make it dangerous.""You reap what you sow in travel, in all of the ways. There's so much more good out there than there is bad."Connect with SophiaWebsite |  www.thereikihealingcoach.com Instagram | @sophia_i_got_igInstagram | @createlifeyourwayFacebook | www.facebook.com/sophia.e.754LinkedIn | Sophia Elcock Hosted on Acast.
