Navigating Life's Challenges with Trust and Travel with Sandy Colling

From Rock Bottom to World Travel: Sandy’s Letting Go StoryIn this episode I get to hang out with Sandy, a trilingual world traveler originally from Germany who has been to 39 countries and now runs “Just Travel with Sandy,” leads group tours, and wrote a book about how travel shaped her life.Sandy shares her “I Got it Girl” turning point of leaving her marriage after spending 28 years with an alcoholic husband. When he threatened their teenage daughter, Sandy asked him to leave and was quickly evicted while being financially dependent and forced to start her life over.She describes hitting rock bottom, food stamps, odd jobs, giving up her horses, yet feeling happier than she was while rebuilding for her kids. Later realizing that she stayed for the kids but staying “for the children” can harm them more than help them. Sandy credits her new life to a deep spiritual practice, Dr. David Hawkins’ “Letting Go” book, and trusting that life happens for us, not to us. Sandy explains how she pivoted into full-time travel advising after losing her job and is now doing what she truly loves and it never feels like work.00:00 Welcome and Guest Intro00:45 Sandy Background and Passions02:49 Podcast Theme I Got Girl04:00 Marriage Breaking Point05:21 Reinventing at Rock Bottom09:20 Staying for the Kids Myth12:14 Identity and Financial Independence13:15 Spiritual Practice Letting Go16:20 Radical Responsibility and PAR19:33 No Perfect Self Care Routine21:29 Morning Coffee Ritual22:40 Coffee Origins and Palate23:38 Mushroom Coffee and Caffeine Sensitivity25:16 From Traveler to Travel Advisor27:27 Turning Gifts Into Income28:46 Pressure Versus Pleasure29:52 Surrender and Letting Energy Flow32:27 EU Flight Compensation Story33:43 Non Attachment and Minimalism34:38 Trust the Process Takeaway37:18 Letting Go and Feeling Feelings38:08 Where to Find Sandy39:27 Final Thanks and SubscribeYou can find and follow Sandy Colling with the following link:https://bio.justtravelwithsandy.com/home908934For all things Coach Jackie click here https://destinymakers.net/linksYou will find access to all my programs, freebies, and ways to create your freedom life!
