In today’s short but meaningful episode, I’m giving you a first peek at my upcoming book, The Travel Lounge Life — and why this deeply personal project matters so much to me.
This isn’t a guidebook. It’s not about top 10 lists or hotel hacks. It’s about what travel awakens in us — especially as women navigating midlife, motherhood, reinvention, and the desire to feel alive again.
I’m sharing why I wrote it, who it’s for, and what I hope it unlocks in you. You’ll even get a behind-the-scenes story that made its way into the book.

In this inspiring episode, I’m joined by Trista Guertin, a master coach, personal development expert, and passionate traveler who has explored 78 countries (and counting!).
Trista’s global journey began as a humanitarian aid worker, taking her to some of the world’s most remote and challenging places. Along the way, she gathered not only passport stamps but also life-changing lessons about resilience, self-trust, and the power of stepping into the unknown.

🤝 Stories from her time working in humanitarian aid and how it shaped her worldview
💡 How travel taught her to trust herself — and how she helps her clients do the same
🚀 Her best advice for women navigating midlife transitions and dreaming of their own adventures
