The Travel Transformation Podcast: Self-development & personal growth tips for travel lovers & adventure seekers Jessica Grace Coleman

In this episode, I bring you an interview I did recently on The Random & Wonderful Podcast hosted by travel mindset coach, Grace Simmons.
I had a great time during this interview – where we spoke all about my solo travelling adventures in Spain and Thailand, tips to combat anxiety, and how we should all embrace life and not let fear hold us back. Grace kindly gave me permission to use the audio from her show on my podcast, so here it is. Enjoy!

In this solo episode, I discuss Airbnb’s 2024 Summer Release announcement, ICONS - in relation to my own project, Movify Your Life. I discuss whether this is the future of accommodation, and whether immersive experiences like Secret Cinema are the future of entertainment and travel.
I’ve personally been to Secret Cinema’s Moulin Rouge, Back To The Future, Stranger Things, and Bladerunner events, and I’m intrigued about Airbnb’s ICONS experiences involving the X-Men X-Mansion, the Up house, Prince’s Purple Rain house, and more. I also talk about past ICONS experiences such as Barbie’s Malibu Dreamhouse, Home Alone Holiday, The Last Blockbuster, and the Ted Lasso Pub.
You can head to the Airbnb website to watch CEO and co-founder of Airbnb, Brian Chesky’s introductory talk about ICONS - and to see the Up house!

In this episode, I talk to Sue Almonte, online business manager turned course creator and solo travel advocate.
A couple of years ago, Sue went on an epic solo trip to Europe for three months, travelling through several countries and attending as many music concerts as possible. So, we talk about the pros and cons of solo travel, how to stay safe when travelling alone, the differences in culture and concerts in terms of Europe vs the US, reverse culture shock, and much, much more!

In this episode, I talk to Melissa B. Lombardo, author, speaker, and founder of Write Heal Thrive LLC.
Melissa is a well-travelled Connecticut native who lived in Central America for two decades. She is a Bilingual Certified Sexual Assault Crisis Advocate and knows first-hand the silence surrounding the topic of sexual violence. It was through the support of friends and family that she navigated the path of vulnerability to begin speaking out and supporting the healing of those who have faced their own trauma. She now advocates for others as they begin to heal and thrive to become their best version. As a naturally inquisitive person, Melissa credits her love of writing as the reason she was able to find her voice and thrive beyond trauma.
Melissa is the founder of Write, Heal, Thrive, which offers holistic conscious individuals the opportunity to continue their healing journey, support a supporter, and offer guidance to individuals as they find their path to healing, thriving, and well-being via books and other publications.
In the interview, we discuss Melissa’s time spent in Nicaragua, the reverse culture shock she had when coming back to the States, how she used writing and publishing to help her heal from trauma, and how she’s helping Nicaraguan artists and artisans through her Etsy shops – plus much more!

In this solo episode, I talk about the Art of Making Memories (thanks to Meik Wiking’s book of the same name). I discuss how we can do this with long-term travel, weekend trips and day trips, and at home – as well as how we can make sure we remember these amazing experiences for the rest of our lives!
