    Climb the Mountain, Create a New Reality: Leadership Lessons from Kilimanjaro with Kerry Borcherding

    Climb the Mountain, Create a New Reality: Leadership Lessons from Kilimanjaro with Kerry Borcherding   Climb the Mountain, Create a New Reality: Leadership Lessons from Kilimanjaro with Kerry Borcherding   What if the biggest obstacle in your life or business isn’t something you need to fix—but a sign that it’s time to create something completely new?   In this episode of Your Travel Bestie Kat, I’m talking with leadership strategist and speaker Kerry Borcherding about her powerful philosophy of stopping the cycle of fixing problems and learning how to create new realities.   Kerry and I also dive into her incredible experience climbing Kilimanjaro—the mental challenge, the moments of doubt, the importance of the team around you, and what reaching the summit taught her about leadership, resilience, and what we’re truly capable of.   We talk about 5D leadership, personal growth, getting out of “someday” thinking, and how travel and adventure can change the way we see ourselves and what’s possible.   Because sometimes the answer isn't to make the mountain smaller.   Sometimes you just have to take the next step.   And the big question is: What’s your next mountain?*🏔️✈️   #YourTravelBestieKat #KerryBorcherding #Kilimanjaro #Leadership #5DLeadership #PersonalGrowth #TravelAsTransformation #AdventureTravel #WomenInBusiness #CreateYourReality

    Travel Smart: Financial Fitness for your Dream Vacations with Ava Elkins

    Travel, Retirement & Your Money: How to Say YES to Travel Without Making Your Bank Account Cry Can you actually travel more without wrecking your retirement plan? YES! And in this episode of Your Travel Bestie Kat, we’re spilling the financial tea on how to make travel a real part of your life—not just something you keep saying you’ll do “someday.” I’m joined by financial advisor Ava Elkins, and we’re talking about the connection between financial fitness and travel fitness. Because what good is saving every penny for retirement if you wait until then to travel… only to discover your health, energy, or circumstances have changed? Ava breaks down her simple approach to creating three travel money buckets: money for trips coming up soon, money for future travel goals, and long-term retirement money. We also talk about emergency funds, empty nesting, planning for unexpected vacation expenses, travel insurance, credit cards and travel rewards, “buy now, pay later” vacation plans, and why waiting too long to take that bucket-list trip can actually cost you more than money. And of course, we have some fun along the way! We debate luxury splurges vs. budget travel, hotel upgrades vs. fancy dinners, overrated travel expenses, vacation YOLO purchases, squished pennies, postcards, jewelry, airline upgrades—and why Kat apparently has very strong feelings about getting on a plane early. 😂 Most importantly, this episode is about giving yourself permission to enjoy the life you worked so hard to build while still being smart with your money. So if you've ever said: “I'm going to travel more when I retire.” “I can't afford that trip.” “I'll do it someday.” —or— “I want to travel, but I don't want my bank account crying…” You need this conversation. Get your body and your money in order, create that travel bucket, respect the bucket, and start making room for the experiences you don't want to miss. Because here at Your Travel Bestie Kat, we're not doing “someday.” We're figuring out how to say YES to travel—with a plan, confidence, and a little sass. ✈️💙 Connect with Ava Elkins: Find Ava Elkins Financial Advisor on YouTube, Facebook, Instagram, and LinkedIn for practical financial tips designed to help your money work as hard as you do. And when you're ready to turn that travel bucket into an actual trip, you know who to call. 😉 Your Travel Bestie Kat Kat’s Purrfect Getaways Helping you stop postponing joy and start saying YES to travel!
