She is most passionate about helping women to tap into their personal power through traveling the world.

Gary Arndt from EverythingEverywhere.com shows how travel has evolved for him from daily travel to a daily podcast living a more settled life. 
We’re big proponents of allowing travel to evolve with your lifestyle. There is no set way to do it.
You define the rules of how it best suits your values, your dreams, and your lifestyle choices.
Gary Arndt shows us how travel has evolved for him from being a 9 year nomad constantly traveling to living the settled life without travel being the focus of it.
In 2007, Gary sold his house in exchange for nearly a decade of daily adventures around the world, sharing his experiences on his blog, Everything Everywhere. He quickly became one of the biggest and most well known blogs in the world, especially noted for his photography which has won numerous awards.
But, not just in travel, the past year’s pandemic has caused him to take a huge pivot in business.
With the loss of his business literally overnight, Gary switched to pursing a long term itch he had to create the Everything Everywhere Daily Podcast.
In it he shares and explores interesting curiosities and questions about life such as Who was the Fifth Beatle, Who is the most dominating athlete of all time, Where does the best thing since sliced bread come from? and What happened to Harold Holt, the disappearing Australian Prime Minister?
His podcast has exploded in growth and in under a year has reached 100,000 downloads per month.

I’m delighted to share the podcast mic with my savvy and vivacious nine year old daughter, Savannah. We chat about our recent road trip to Chattanooga, TN. It was the first time, Savannah and I have taken a trip with just the two of us.
Savannah shares why it was important for her to spend time with just me. We also dive into the stories and highlights of why we loved Chattanooga. From the thrilling incline railway to the more gentle art mural walks!

This podcast interview is with the inspiring Kay Akpan from the popular Instagram, YouTube, and blog, The Mom Trotter. She is also a writer, speaker and advocate for gentle parenting.
Kay created The Mom Trotter to share her budget travel tips, homeschooling life, parenting as well as to connect with other families following the same path.
Kay joins me to chat who and her husband Sylvester sold their way too big house to buy an RV and put family at the center of their life as they travel full time with their son Aiden.
 
We chat about overcoming your fears to just do it, life on the road, homeschooling, reducing debt and smart money matters for kids. 
I love how Kay embraces our family travel philosophy that travel doesn’t have to stop after kids. Her passion is to empower parents to see how travel with kids is possible and doable as a one income family, stay at home parent or while working a full time job.
