There's a quote from this episode that I absolutely love, and it goes like this: "Where focus goes, energy flows." It's a simple phrase, but it can have tremendous power when it comes to centering, or re-centering, your life around the things that matter the most to you.

In this episode, with the help of marriage and intimacy coach, Dr. Kate Mangona, we place our focus on our long-term relationships, and explore how we can nurture them to flourish through travel as well as other outlets. Dr. Mangona was a previous guest in episodes 69 and 70, but since then has undergone the most amazing transformation to truly come into herself, and live out her passions. She is real, honest, joyful, generous, and wise, and I can't imagine a better person with whom to have this conversation!

In this episode you'll hear about:
🛣️ Dr. Mangona's journey to marriage and intimacy coaching.
✈️ The importance of traveling alone with your partner.
👩‍👧‍👦 Family travels to Big Bend National Park
😄 The power of optimism in relationships.
❤️‍🔥 The benefits of shared passions in a relationship.
📲 Learning to communicate with your partner.

I really hope you enjoy this episode and I know that it will inspire you to Dare to Dream!

Today's episode is a truly honest and vulnerable reflection on the value of doing hard things. Dr. Shehzad Batliwala, who featured as a guest in Ep. 53, was kind enough to join me for a second time on the podcast to talk about his recent trip to Tanzania to climb Mount Kilimanjaro. Needless to say, his story is incredible!

From joining the expedition on a whim, to taking on the steep learning curve that comes with trying new things, he walked away with so many lessons that have had a profound impact on his quest for personal growth. I'm thrilled that we get to hear them today, because they're applicable to all of our lives as physicians, goal-setters, and travelers!

In this episode, you'll hear about:

💡 Finding inspiration to climb Kilimanjaro in his community.
🏋️ His last-minute preparation for the climb.
✈️ Travel madness.
🪢 Overcoming self-doubt and figuring out the ropes.
🤩 The pure joy that comes with accomplishing something hard.
📚 The lessons he took back to all parts of life.
❓ Where his next travel adventures will take him.

I really hope you enjoy this episode and I hope that it inspires you to Dare to Dream!

The beauty of travel is that it can be anything you need and want it to be, for whatever chapter you're at in your life. It can be adventurous, relaxing, healing, horizon-expanding... you name it, and I think this episode really highlights the value in this versatility.

I had the pleasure of having Dr. La Toya Luces-Sampson back on the show for the second time after we first chatted in episodes 74 and 75. She's a board-certified OBGYN and entrepreneur. I'm always just astounded to hear about her professional and travel adventures.

In this episode, we talk about her relationship with travel and the value that she has gotten from different trips she has taken. We especially zoom in on a trip that she took to Cabo during her recent postpartum period, and she shares how it helped her heal, saved her marriage, and served as a major catalyst for her new postpartum service, Beyond the 4th Trimester.

In this episode you'll hear about:
🏁 Dr. La Toya's introduction to travel.
✈️ The beauty of solo travel.
🌍 Her connection to Africa that keeps her going back.
💍 The trip that saved her marriage.
📚 Her philosophy about travel.
👩‍👧‍👦 Traveling with kids.

I really hope you enjoy this episode and I know that it will inspire you to Dare to Dream!
