    Episode 5: When Travel Isn't a Vacation — Why We Chose an Extended-Stay Hotel in Campbell, California | Passport to Possibility Podcast

    In this episode of the Passport to Possibility Podcast, I'm sharing a trip that wasn't a vacation at all. Our dog Tocho needed several days of treatment at a veterinary hospital in the San Jose area, and we needed a place to stay nearby. This episode is about why we chose an extended-stay hotel in Campbell, and what that week taught me about matching your accommodations to the actual purpose of your trip. In this episode: Why we chose TownePlace Suites in Campbell, and the phone call that gave me confidence in the decision What made Campbell itself surprisingly welcoming during a hard week The real benefits of an extended-stay hotel — the kitchenette, the space, the small things that matter more than people expect Why the best hotel isn't always the fanciest one, it's the one that supports why you're actually there If you've ever had to travel for something other than a vacation, whether it's a medical trip, a family visit, or relocating for work, this episode is for you.

    Episode 4: How I Built a Business While Working Full Time | Passport to Possibility Podcast

    In this episode of the Passport to Possibility Podcast, I'm sharing what it actually looked like building my travel business while I was still working full time in healthcare — the lunch breaks, the early mornings, and the small steps that added up. In this episode: What building a business around a full-time job actually looked like, day to day Why the flexibility of this business model made it possible without a rigid second shift What I learned about mentorship, and why I couldn't build this exactly like anyone else did The trade-offs I made, and why they didn't feel like sacrifices What it felt like when my healthcare job was eventually restructured, and why I wasn't starting from zero If you've ever had that quiet itch to build something of your own, but assumed you needed more time or the perfect moment first, this one's for you. If you'd rather read the full story, I also wrote about it on my blog: How I Left Healthcare to Start a Travel Business in My 50s.

    Episode 3: The Two-Question Test | Passport to Possibility Podcast

    In this episode of the Passport to Possibility Podcast, I'm sharing something a little different: a two-question test I created for myself, one I now run before saying yes to any big expense or big decision. It's the same test that gave me the confidence to leave my 32-year career in healthcare administration and build a business of my own, and it's the same test I used deciding whether a second night at Disney's Halloween party was worth it. In this episode: The two-question test I run before any major splurge or life decision How we used it to decide on a second night at our first Disney Halloween party Why we stayed at a Disney Good Neighbor Hotel instead of an on-site resort, and what that freed up How the same exact test gave me the courage to leave a 32-year healthcare career Why "can I afford this" is the wrong question, and what to ask instead If you've got a splurge or a big decision sitting in front of you right now, I'd genuinely love for you to run it through these two questions and see where you land.

    Episode 2: The Trip That Started Everything | Passport to Possibility Podcast

    In Episode 2 of the Passport to Possibility Podcast, I take you back to the family Disneyland trip that planted the first seed for everything that came later. I’m sharing how we planned our vacation one paycheck at a time, the traditions we created before we ever left home, and why I believe the anticipation can become just as meaningful as the destination itself. In this episode: How we made this trip happen on a tight budget, one paycheck at a time The simple saving strategy that made our Disneyland dream possible How pin trading became a family tradition almost by accident The Christmas surprise that started the countdown before we ever left home Why I believe anticipation is just as much a part of a vacation as the trip itself Whether you’re planning your very first Disney vacation or simply wondering if a dream trip is possible, I hope this episode reminds you that meaningful travel doesn’t have to happen all at once. Sometimes it begins with one small decision, one paycheck, and the belief that it’s worth planning for. If you’d rather read the full story, I also wrote about it on my blog: How One Budget Disneyland Trip Sparked a Travel Business.
