45. Digging into Intentional Travel in Costa Rica While She's Away

In this week's episode, I'm taking you on a very personal journey as I unpack my recent experiences in Costa Rica. Over the past several months I've had some realizations that my constant movement has been a band-aid for deeper issues and a way to cope with life's stresses. Through this self-discovery, I delve into the idea of intentional travel and what it means to truly stay present, even when things get tough.
I'll be sharing the raw moments when travel no longer served as my escape and how it forced me to confront what I’d been avoiding. Join me as I reflect on why I’ve been running and how I aim to change my approach to exploring this beautiful world. Get ready to hear all about my highs and lows, the lessons learned, and how I'm striving to turn travel into a space for personal growth rather than an escape!
