In this episode, I'm joined by Gaelle Chapon of Gaelle Chapon Coaching. Gaelle supports her clients to prioritize their self-care and reconnect to their authentic selves. She shares with us insights on how to develop and sustain a self-care practice. Gaelle is also an example of how intentional travel can be a tool to empower us through transition and the beauty of nature to nurture us. You’ll be inspired by her travel journeys to Costa Rica, Machu Picchu, and most recently, Bali. She also shares the special places she stayed on her trip to Bali and Raja Ampat Islands:  Bali Eco Lodge: www.baliecolodge.com Pramana Watukuring Resort: www.pramanawatukurung.com Meridian Adventure Dive Resort in Raja Ampat: www.raja.meridianadventuredive.com You can find Gaelle on Instagram, Youtube, LinkedIn, and FaceBook as well as on her website www.gaellechaponcoaching.com So if you have been struggling to prioritize your self-care, are facing a life transition, or need a little travel inspiration for a solo or couples trip, I invite you to listen in.

I had planned to talk about all the wonderful benefits of solo women travel, but what came to mind is how we stop ourselves from going in the first place, from even considering such a trip. They are what I call the “waiting for” gremlins, as they keep us waiting on our dreams and goals, along with going on that special trip that we desire. While there are several such gremlins, in this episode I’ll cover four: Waiting for permission Waiting for someone to join us Waiting for work to slow down Waiting for having more money So if you are craving a getaway or have been wanting to pursue a goal but are holding yourself back, listen in to see if one of these gremlins rings true for you, as well as discover strategies to move beyond them.
