  • Have you ever been love bombed online? You meet this amazing guy, he showers you with compliments, tells you you're his soulmate... and then... asks for money.  This is a dating scam, and it happens to way too many women.

    I'm Sophia, your travel and transformation host, and I've almost been scammed myself! But here's the thing: good girls are especially susceptible to these scams.  We want to please, we trust easily, and we hate disappointing people.  These are all great qualities, but they can be used against us.

    So how do you avoid becoming a victim?  Listen to this episode where I'll explain the psychology of dating scams and how to protect yourself.  I'll also share tips on how to identify red flags and build healthy online relationships.

    Don't let "good girl syndrome" hold you back from finding real love!  Listen to this episode and take charge of your dating life.

    How good girl syndrome can make you more susceptible to dating scamsThe red flags to watch out for to avoid falling victimPractical strategies to protect yourself onlineHow to overcome the shame of being targeted and move forward

    If your gut is telling you something, listen, because it's probably right.


    "Some women with good girl syndrome may inherently just trust others and just believe in the good intentions of people. And that's not a bad thing, but it is something that can make you more susceptible to dating scams."


    "As women get older, they tend to be viewed as invisible. So they latch on to a person who is paying attention to them, who seems to see them. And that's when the manipulation can really take hold."


    "So one of my boundaries is I don't send money to anybody. That is a boundary for me. So if I haven't met you, even if I have met you, chances are you're not getting my money because I work hard for my money and I'm not just going to give it away to somebody who has loved bombed me, and now they think that they have formed some tight emotional bond with me."


    "Trust your instincts, because you usually know if you think about it, you usually know when something's not right and you choose to ignore that feeling because maybe you think it's ego or, you know, maybe. Maybe you're being gaslit."


    "People catfish, people lie. And if this has happened to you, don't be ashamed of yourself. Don't beat yourself up about it. Okay? In fact, report it."

    "Boundaries don't have to be a bad thing. It doesn't have to be like, you're mean or nasty, but really understanding what feels right for you."


    "And I think just, even what you just said is recognizing what a boundary even is. So, in saying, okay, if you can't make it, let me know 48 hours in advance, or give me a call if so and so is going to happen, or those are boundaries because you're letting people know. It's almost like, I guess, another way to look at it. They're kind of rules."

  • In our last episode, we tackled perfectionism, procrastination, and fear of failure - the hallmarks of Good Girl Syndrome. Today, we're diving deeper into another core aspect: people pleasing.


    We will talk about how pleasing people, a sneaky part of Good Girl Syndrome, holds us back.  We explore its roots in childhood and societal messages, and how it can turn into codependency. We'll also unveil your hidden strengths (generosity, empathy, resourcefulness!) and show you how to harness them for an authentic you. We will share simple tips like self-care mantras and small, solo adventures can disrupt the people-pleasing cycle.

    "I had to have the courage to be disliked and just understanding that I would lose the closeness that I wanted." 


    "People pleasing usually starts out in childhood. This can be a cultural or a societal thing, as little girls should be pleasing and polite, seen and not heard." 


    "We want to be accepted, we want to belong. And then if you've grown up in a dysfunctional family, sometimes people pleasing could easily have been a survival mechanism." 


    "I can't fix anyone. I can't change anyone. The only person I can fix is me." 


    "When I realized that my relationship to myself changed for the better and I stopped seeking out fixer uppers..." 


    "You can be all of those things at the same time and still be a people pleaser." 


    "I exist to please myself. I choose to please others if and when it pleases me."

    "When we get together as women and do wild women's circles or we do breath work, or we do things as a group, or we do things to prepare food for people who need food, making quilting, making stuff for our children, these kind of things, there's a certain calmness that comes back to women's systems just because of our genetics and how we've been built in a woman's body."

  • To ignite change and awaken dreams, we must let go of the things that hold us back. Making small changes allows us to break free from old problems and rediscover our dreams for a better future. Margie Breault, a foundational wisdom root teacher, transformational energy life coach focusing on flow and manifestation, medium, and energy healer with her business Prism of Brilliance. She's super passionate about sparking change and making dreams real. 

    Margie talks about her tough childhood with emotional pain. She bravely shares her journey with therapy, breaking down beliefs, and struggling to trust herself. She found relief and change with Reiki in her twenties, and being a mom pushed her to explore energy practices more. Margie also talks about impostor syndrome, which means feeling off because of limiting beliefs. She shares tricks to uncover it, stressing the power of asking "why" to find the real cause. Being curious without judging is key. 

    The healing journey is always about growing and discovering yourself. More awesome episodes are coming on the Travel and Transformation Show!

    "Anything that limits you is not the truth. So that's a really clear way to find those limiting beliefs and those operating patterns that you have been working inside of that are creating you to be separate from who you are and creating you to be separate from who you want to because you're limited under these limited beliefs."

    "If you're not aware of something, you can't shift it. You have to be able to see that blind spot. So getting really curious with a sense of compassion for yourself versus a sense of judgment allows you to start to shift that mindset."

    "You can't shame yourself into evolution, you can't shame yourself into change. Only compassion and love can do that because compassion is really the liberation of suffering. It's love in action."

    "Healing is not a place where you've arrived. Healing is a journey that starts with conscious awareness, and then you continue to do so."

    Today, we're talking about the good girl syndrome. Good girl syndrome affects work, relationships, and family dynamics, often leading to sacrifices and feelings of resentment. We'll focus on three aspects: perfectionism (chasing impossible perfection), procrastination (avoiding stuff out of fear), and fear of failure (playing it safe). To overcome these challenges, embrace imperfections, figure out why you're avoiding stuff, and face fears by taking small steps outside your comfort zone. Until next time, take care!

    "The whole point of travel is to experience something different. It's cultural diversity. If it were totally the same, what fun would that be, right?"

  • Travel and money are women's superheroes. Travel makes them strong, breaks norms. Smart money choices break barriers, give control, mean independence and dreams. In this chat, Sophia talks with Angela Duncan, the cool host of Empower Her Money. A woman who defied the odds and survived a childhood of abuse and poverty. She loves real estate and says you don't need lots of money to start investing; it's like planting seeds.


    Angela suggests using your brain, not just your feelings, for money decisions. Spread your money around, like a safety net. Change how you think about money – be thankful for what you have. Angela's money tips are simple: check your spending, save for emergencies first, and put money aside for retirement. Pay off expensive debts first, like credit cards. Be careful with consolidation loans – they might not be as good as they seem. For travelers, Angela says use Airbnb, negotiate prices, and check Groupon for deals. You can enjoy life and still be smart with money. Get Angela's book on Kindle and learn a quick guide on thinking differently about money while enjoying life. Listen now!

And that allows for you to make better decisions when you don't have so much pressure, when you have multiple streams of income coming in."

    "We deserve to live in abundance. This world has abundance all around us."

  • Hello, lovely listeners! It's Sophia, your host from the Travel and Transformation Show. Today's episode is not the usual—it's more of a heartfelt shout-out and celebration as we're just one day away from marking the one-year anniversary of this podcast. First and foremost, thank you all for being part of this incredible journey with me. Your support means the world.

    As I reflect on the past year, I can't help but think back to the day I nervously hit the "publish" button on that very first episode. Starting this podcast was a scary endeavor for me. Would anyone listen? Would I have interesting things to share? These questions raced through my mind. Now, standing on the brink of the one-year mark, I'm filled with gratitude and pride for how far we've come together. It's proof that with determination, consistency, and a dash of courage, beautiful things can happen. 

    Your dreams have no expiration date, and there's always room for transformation. Sending lots of love your way. Enjoy life, and I'll catch you in the next episode!

    "Recognize what's going on with yourself and decide what kind of relationship you want to be in and the things you're willing to stand for. That can transform your life."

    "Travel and transformation brought together two of my major passions: personal development and travel."

    "Sometimes when it looks like things are not working out for you, the universe is conspiring for your good."

    "Last year taught me a lot about being able to surrender. Not giving up, but just allowing. When I was allowed, things turned out so much better than I could have ever planned."
