Are you willing to step into the unknown to bring your dreams to life? In this episode of the Transform with Travel podcast, I had an enlightening conversation with Marisa Folz McConnell, a visionary entrepreneur behind The Wander Shop.
The Wander Shop was born out of Marisa's love for travel and fashion. Initially envisioned as a mobile store, Marisa's ingenuity and grit saw it evolve into a lifestyle boutique that supports local brands and artisans. With every change in her business modelâfrom pop-up events and roaming Airstreams to stable retail locationsâMarisa demonstrates the importance of flexibility and intuition in entrepreneurial success.
Travel has been a major influence on Marisa's fashion sense and business ethos. She draws inspiration from Californiaâs laid-back style and Italy's classic elegance, incorporating versatile, timeless fashion pieces in her store. Trend forecasting for 2025 sees the return of baggy jeans and bold colors, and Marisa advises building a capsule wardrobe that balances the trendy with the timeless.
Marisa's story is a reminder to trust your instincts and seize opportunities when they arise. Her willingness to embrace risks and adapt to new circumstances offers a valuable lesson for anyone looking to transform their vision into reality.
If Marisaâs journey has sparked your wanderlust or inspired you to explore new territories in your own life, I'd be thrilled to assist. Contact me for a complimentary 20-minute consultation to start planning your next adventure using this link: https://transform-with-travel.captivate.fm/book-a-call

Every January brings a natural energy for reflection and dreaming big. Itâs a time proven to be perfect for setting intentions and planning how we want our lives to unfold. In this episode of the Transform with Travel podcast, Iâm joined by Maria Maldonado Smith, a leading expert in goal setting and vision boards. Together, we explore the exciting journey of turning dreams, especially around travel, into reality
Maria explains that a vision board is a visual representation of your goals, acting as a powerful tool to keep your aspirations in focus. In a world inundated with images, vision boards help you curate what truly matters to you, leveraging your brainâs reticular activating system to align with your desires and create an information funnel that keeps your goals top of mind.
Many people, Maria notes, use excuses like lack of time or money to postpone their dreams. Instead, she encourages listeners to reevaluate their priorities and align their actions with their ambitions. Simple practices like setting aside time regularly for your goals and saving incrementally for dream trips can make a massive difference.
After creating your vision board, it's crucial to have an accountability system in place. Regularly check in on your progress, celebrate small wins, and adjust your goals as needed. Consistency, accountability, and grace are key to making your visions reality.
Whether it's learning a new language, embarking on a travel adventure, or deepening relationships, let this be the year you turn your dreams into reality. Happy vision boarding, and keep exploring! Remember to follow the Transform with Travel podcast so you donât miss an episode.

Are you yearning for an experience that could transform not just your familyâs outlook on the world, but also improve your own as a parent?
Are you curious about how different cultures parent their children?
In todayâs fast-paced, technology-driven world, the notion of slow travel can create the perfect environment for personal growth and connection.
Join Elodie Ferchaud, co-founder of Boundless Life, and I as we navigate the world of travel for families.
Elodieâs journey started out as an expat family, where she observed the differences in parenting across cultures - Swedish, French, Japanese and American. Because of this cross-cultural experience, she was able to blend the best of all 4 parenting styles into her own version of mothering.
Boundless Life stands out with its thoughtfully crafted communities in places like Greece, Portugal, and Bali, aiming to provide holistic family living solutions. These include schooling based on experiential learning and tight-knit support networks for parents and children alike.
Elodie elaborates on how the Boundless Life concept allows families to experience life beyond traditional schooling and routines, fostering development through multi-age learning and personalised educational paths.
One of the most evocative aspects of Elodie's journey is discovering the power of communityâa notion unfamiliar to her until becoming part of the Boundless Life ecosystem. This support system proved invaluable, from day-to-day parenting challenges to moments of vulnerability and growth.
Boundless Lifeâs approach to education is innovative, emphasizing growth mindset and holistic child development through modular, multi-age learning environments. Kids not only partake in culturally immersive activities but also benefit from stable, supportive learning surroundings that mitigate the transitions typically associated with frequent relocations.

In today's fast-paced world, rest is often mistaken for simply lying on a beach with a cocktail in hand. But what if rest could mean something deeper, a true rejuvenation that touches the soul, leaving you transformed? This question finds its answer in the story of Roberto Laurens, owner of Pacha Munay Retreat Center in Peru.
Roberto Laurensâ journey is anything but conventional. Born in Colombia, he moved to Massachusetts and embarked on a life filled with spiritual exploration and entrepreneurship. Following a significant health crisis and profound spiritual experiences, Roberto found himself at a crossroads that led him to the heart of Peru.
It was a series of synchronicitiesâthe calling of Peru that Roberto could not ignore. Post-surgery, seeking healing, he found himself in the jungles of the Amazon managing an ayahuasca retreat center. Here, Roberto learned invaluable lessons on the benefits and pitfalls of plant medicine, highlighting the importance of integration over the mere experience of spiritual highs.
In a world obsessed with bucket lists and itineraries, Roberto emphasizes the balance between exploration and inner work. The retreat nurtures this balance, encouraging guests to view travel not as an escape but as a profound opportunity for personal development.
When you next plan your travels, consider the potential for transformation that lies beyond sightseeing. Embrace the opportunity to rest, rejuvenate, and return home with a newfound clarity and sense of purpose.

Are you considering a move abroad? Or perhaps traveling long term? Have you ever considered what it takes to safely and legally transition from your home country to a new country?
Whether driven by political climates, a desire for adventure, or the allure of experiencing a new culture, moving overseas is a dream many people share. However, it's not just about packing your bags and buying a plane ticket.
This week on the Transform with Travel Podcast, Iâm joined by Lauren Klein, an esteemed estate planning attorney, to discuss the implications of moving abroad. Lauren, who specializes in helping individuals and families navigate the legal complexities of relocating internationally, shares invaluable insights from her experience.
Lauren emphasizes the need to start with a solid foundation in estate planning. Prior to moving, ensure your estate planning documents are set up in your home jurisdiction. This often includes setting up a revocable trust to avoid probate issues and naming guardians for minor children. Importantly, having healthcare directives in place ensures your healthcare wishes are respected, no matter where you are.
A common misconception is that U.S. citizens living abroad are not subject to U.S. taxes. In reality, the U.S. taxes citizens on their worldwide income, regardless of residence. Therefore, understanding your tax obligations in both the U.S. and your new country is essential, and requires expert advice from professionals who are well-versed in international tax laws.
Whether you're considering a temporary stay of a few months or a permanent move, it's crucial to understand the layers of legal and financial protection you need. Being informed and prepared will minimize stress and allow you to fully experience the joys of living overseas.
For those ready to leap into life abroad, having a well-structured plan and a strong, competent advisory team can make all the difference in achieving both security and happiness in your new location.

Join me on todayâs episode where I share my 7 Proven Strategies to unlocking stress-free travels through the power of mindfulness.
Traveling can be a thrilling adventure filled with discovery, yet it often comes with its own set of challengesâflight anxieties, packing dilemmas, and the rush of itineraries. These challenges can overshadow the joy of travel, leaving us frazzled and less present. During a transformative moment on a retreat to Costa Rica, the realization struck that many travelers share these nerves and anxieties, often letting a single negative experience taint an entire trip.
This insight led to the creation of "The Mindful Traveler: How to Navigate Travel Stress with a Smile"âan ebook crafted to help us navigate those stressful moments with ease and grace, turning potential trials into opportunities for growth and connection.
Mindfulness isnât about achieving perfect travel experiences, but rather embracing each moment as it comes, with all its unpredictabilities. As you plan your next adventure, remember these tools to transform travel stress into moments of serenity.

Have you ever wondered what it's like to view the world from the cockpit of an airplane? Or perhaps you're one of the many travelers who experience a tinge of anxiety every time you buckle up for a flight. In today's episode, we unravel these mysteries with insights from a seasoned pilot, Simon Brackett, and learn practical ways to manage in-flight anxiety.
Travel can open up new perspectives and enhance the quality of our lives. Traveling can be transformational, however, for many, stepping on an airplane introduces a wave of nervousness, often due to turbulence or unfamiliar sounds during a flight. Understanding the process and realities of flying can ease anxiety, allowing one to fully embrace the adventurous spirit that travel promises.
One of the most common fears associated with flying is turbulence. Simon Brackett, a commercial pilot and former Air Force special operations pilot, clarifies that turbulence doesn't mean danger. He compares it to a boat riding over choppy water â uncomfortable but manageable. Simon reassures us that he's never encountered structural damage to an aircraft due to turbulence. He also shares his best tips for staying safe, as well as for managing flight anxiety.
Understanding the mechanics and safety of flying, coupled with mindful practices, can vastly improve your travel experience. Embrace these tips and insights next time you embark on your journey, and remember to keep exploring the horizons, grounded in the confidence of a safe flight.

How does pelvic health impact your travel experiences?
In this episode of the Transform with Travel podcast, Iâm joined by Susan Winograd, a pelvic health expert. This insightful discussion explored the often-overlooked connection between pelvic health and travel, providing valuable advice for travelers of all kinds.
Susan emphasized the importance of a whole-body wellness approach, integrating various modalities to support clients comprehensively. This approach isn't just about addressing immediate health issues but ensuring long-term wellness. Susan's clinic offers a full spectrum of services, including nutrition and wellness programs, to help clients feel their best throughout life.
Susan provided practical tips to maintain health while traveling. Simple practices like changing positions frequently, staying hydrated, and planning for potential constipation can make a big difference. Breathwork was also highlighted as a powerful tool for pelvic health, helping balance the body's systems with every inhale and exhale.
Traveling across time zones often disrupts sleep patterns. Susan explained the importance of adjusting to local time as quickly as possible to help regulate bodily functions, including sleep and bladder control. Getting immediate exposure to sunlight upon arrival and integrating familiar routines can aid in this adjustment.
Susan's overarching message is to be proactive and plan for your health. By modifying what can be controlled and embracing new experiences, travelers can enhance their well-being. For those looking to connect with Susan, her practice Pelvicore Rehab and Wellness in Boca Raton, Florida, offers a wealth of resources, and she can be found across various online platforms.

Are you ready to transform your travel experiences and maybe even your career through the world of travel?
In this episode of the Transform with Travel podcast, I sit down with Henley Vazquez, the CEO and co-founder of Fora. This conversation illuminated the evolving landscape of the travel industry, the rise of travel advisors, and the growing interest in wellness travel.
We got into the changes in the travel industry, particularly post-pandemic. The demand for travel advisors has surged as travelers seek guidance through the more complex travel landscape. The conversation highlighted the growing need for flexibility and the ability for last-minute planning, as people are still wary of committing to travel plans far in advance.
Fora aims to revolutionize the travel advising industry by offering a modern platform that supports advisors with training, efficient booking tools, and community connection. This approach not only helps seasoned advisors but also makes it easier for newcomers to enter the field and succeed.
Henley shared some exciting travel trends, including a move towards exploring less touristy areas in popular destinations like Italy and the rise of far-flung destinations such as Bhutan. She also noted the continued popularity of domestic travel within the United States, with destinations like the American West offering unique experiences.
Henley also emphasized the importance of customer service, attention to detail, and leveraging personal networks over social media. By providing exceptional service, advisors can build a loyal client base through word-of-mouth referrals.

Have you ever wondered how you can combine your passion for yoga, wellness, and travel into a sustainable lifestyle?
In this episode of the Transform with Travel podcast, I sit down with Erica Hartnick, founder of Yoga Trade, to discuss her inspiring journey and offer invaluable insights into the world of mindful traveling, seasonal work, and the vibrant global wellness community.
Erica Hartnick is described as a connection catalyst and mindful adventurer, who grew up in the Sierra Nevada mountains of California but now splits her time between Lake Tahoe and Costa Rica. With a life devoted to exploration, Erica facilitates nature-inspired yoga and mindful experiences. She co-founded Yoga Trade in 2012, driven by her devotion to regenerative living and connecting the global wellness community.
We dive into Erica's journey, asking what about the practice of yoga led her to pursue a full-time career in the industry. Erica shares her path from being a mountain athlete to deeply immersing herself in yoga due to injuries. She explains that Yoga Trade was born out of a genuine desire to give back and a passion project without a formal business plan. This authentic sense of wanting to serve the world laid the foundation for Yoga Trade.
The conversation transitions to the seasonal lifestyle that Erica has embraced. After college, Erica initially pursued a business career but quickly shifted to seasonal mountain jobs to fuel her passion for skiing and snowboarding. Over time, she developed a pattern of working in winter and summer jobs, and traveling for short periods during spring and fall. Erica reflects on how this lifestyle led to burnout and the realization that she longed for a stable community and purposeful life.
We also discuss the profound impact of nature on one's well-being and the importance of mindful travel. Erica shares her belief that being in nature helps clear the mind, open the heart, and connect with the source of life. She speaks about the concept of leaving no trace and treading lightly on the earth. Erica emphasizes the need for awareness, non-judgment, and personal responsibility when traveling.
