Podcasts about Wanderlust

For most of us, singer/songwriter Donna Lewis appeared out of nowhere in 1996 when her smash hit "I Love You Always Forever" got to #2 on the charts and seemed to never go away. What was strange is she kind of disappeared almost as fast, with further singles and albums not making the same impact. You may be surprised to find out Donna's never stopped working and even has a new album, Wanderlust, her seventh, with collaborator David Lowe and it's just as strong as the rest.

Six years ago I made something I really believed in. A remix of mine had reached Ruben de Ronde through a mailing list. He played it, he liked it, we started talking, and he asked me to do an official remix of "Wanderlust", his track with EKE. I made it. He loved it. And then, for whatever reason, it just never came out. So it sat. Six years on a shelf. Long enough. I'm just really happy to finally share my music with you again. Original: Ruben de Ronde feat. EKE, Wanderlust (Statement!). Remix by Gitman. Follow: instagram.com/gitmanmusic | youtube.com/@gitmanmusic | tiktok.com/@gitmanmusic

Ken Marino is very funny. All the time. Maybe even "too funny." Starting with the legendary comedy group "The State," more than three decades ago, Marino has been the go-to comedy gold in countless television shows, stealing so many scenes in movies, always bringing the funny. The films he's co-written with David Wain are some of his highlights — "The Ten," "Role Models," "Wanderlust," and now "Gail Daughtry and the Celebrity Sex Pass" (which comes out July 10th). On this episode, Marino ponders the origins of his brand of comedy (or if he even has one), explains why he doesn't like humor that punches down, makes a case for why he thinks he has "a good grasp on 'asshole,'" talks about what has brought him to a place where he makes bold choices right off the bat, lays out how it all comes down to "specifics," and much much more. Back To One is the in-depth, no-nonsense, actors-on-acting podcast. In each episode, host Peter Rinaldi invites one working actor to do a deep dive into their unique process, psychology, and approach to the craft.  Subscribe to Back To One on Substack Follow Back To One on Instagram

What happens when your body starts to heal, but your mind is still trapped in survival mode? In this episode of hol+, Dr. Taz sits down with Amy Kurtz, certified health coach, patient advocate, speaker, and author "But You Look Fine", for a powerful conversation about chronic illness, Lyme disease, medical gaslighting, nervous system trauma, and what it really means to heal.Together, they explore Amy's 20+ year journey through unexplained pain, chronic symptoms, misdiagnosis, and the search for answers that finally led to a diagnosis of late-stage neurological Lyme disease and co-infections. Amy shares what it was like to be told her labs were normal while knowing something was deeply wrong in her body, and how years of invalidation shaped her relationship with her health, her identity, and her trust in herself.Dr. Taz and Amy also discuss why so many people live in the “gray zone” between sick and well, especially when symptoms are invisible, complex, or hard to explain. They unpack why normal labs do not always mean optimal health, why Lyme disease can be missed for years, and how chronic illness can impact relationships, career, emotional safety, and the nervous system.This conversation offers a grounded and hopeful look at what happens after illness, when the body may be improving but the mind and nervous system are still bracing for the next crash. Amy introduces her concept of Medical Trauma Brain, or MTB, which describes the anxiety, hypervigilance, fear, and survival patterns that can remain after chronic illness, cancer, stroke, chronic pain, or any major health crisis.If you're listening to this and thinking, “I know something is off in my body, but I don't know where to start,” join the Circle here:

Charles Achampong joined Michelle to share the story of how his family took a year-long trip around the world. What began as a seed of an idea on his honeymoon in Rio de Janeiro became a 10-year plan that ultimately transformed his family's relationships, perspectives, and approach to life. About Charles Husband and father of two girls (ages 9 and 12) 20+ years across public, private, non-profit, and philanthropic sectors Focuses on helping communities solve complex problems Now speaks and writes about the power of pausing and intentional living Author of Around the World in Family Days How It Started His wife planted the seed on their honeymoon — a dream to take their future family around the world Became a 10-year financial and logistical plan The pandemic reinforced their decision — life is short, and waiting isn't guaranteed Originally planned as an African safari for her 40th birthday; evolved into a full world trip Key Barriers They Faced Financial fear — shifting from scarcity mindset to values-based decision making Logistics overwhelm — schooling, travel routes, work; most were solvable Illusion of readiness — there is no perfect moment; you have to interrupt life yourself Identity — letting go of titles, productivity, and career momentum Execution reality — fatigue, missed flights, sibling arguments; growth comes from friction Values-Based Decision Making Most pre-trip decisions were default decisions, not deliberate ones The gap year forced the question: What do we value enough to reorganize our lives around? Key family values identified: Quality time together before kids become teenagers Exposing children to the world beyond the classroom Living in alignment, not just in stability Practical exercise suggested: Review your last 3 months of calendar — where is your time going? Review your last 3 months of bank/credit card statements — where is your money going? Do these reflect your actual values? Advice for Others "Don't wait until life forces you to pause — practice choosing a pause intentionally." You don't need a full year; even micro-sabbaticals create meaningful disruption The goal is disruption of routine, not just duration Get honest about what's really holding you back — it's usually fear, not logistics Involve your kids (or family) in the planning process Resources & Links

What happens when you achieve everything you set out to… and it still doesn't feel like enough?In this episode of A Life of Greatness, Sarah Grynberg sits down with former AFL star, media personality, and podcast host Luke Darcy to explore the reality behind success, identity, and fulfilment.From the outside, Luke Darcy had it all, AFL success with the Western Bulldogs and a high profile media career. But behind it came pressure, expectation, and the realisation that achievement alone does not equal fulfilment.In this honest conversation, Luke shares the moment he began to question success, stepping away from the spotlight, and how mindfulness, family and purpose reshaped his life. He also opens up about parenting, the pressure in kids sport, and allowing kids identity to evolve beyond performance.In this episode, you will learn:Why success without fulfilment can feel emptyHow to navigate identity after high performance or public lifeThe role of mindfulness and meditation in creating clarity and balanceWhy stepping away can sometimes be the most powerful decisionHow to support children in kids sport without projecting your own expectationsWhy connection, presence, and purpose matter more than achievementThis is a powerful conversation about redefining success, letting go of external validation, and building a life that feels aligned from the inside out.Because real success isn't about how it looks from the outside… it's about how it feels when everything goes quiet.This episode of A Life of Greatness is brought to you by Wanderlust High Strength Berberine.If you're looking to better support your metabolic health, Wanderlust High Strength Berberine is a powerful, plant-based supplement designed to help regulate blood sugar levels and support healthy metabolism.

A Brit living in Australia, Christine Smith, also known as The Food Granny, travels with a different kind of passport, one that gets her invited into kitchens rather than just across borders. From sitting in village kitchens learning generational recipes, to discovering unexpected delicacies in places most travellers overlook, her journeys are driven by curiosity and connection rather than checklists. Food has taken her off the beaten track and into experiences that most tourists simply do not see. Check out her wesite:https://www.thefoodgranny.com.au/http://www.malcolmteasdale.com

What if a song could take you somewhere you've never been? Or transport you straight back to a beach, a bus ride, or an open road on the other side of the world?In this solo episode I'm sharing the songs that have shaped my travel life — from the early days of dreaming about the world from my bedroom, through my first big adventure in 2013, all the way to life on the road today.Some of these songs painted pictures of places before I'd ever set foot there. Others are locked forever to a specific moment — a sweaty dance floor in Thailand, a hungover bus ride through New Zealand, a road trip across Canada that changed everything.Seven songs. A lifetime of wanderlust. And one or two choices that might genuinely surprise you.Whether you're a seasoned traveller or still dreaming of that first big trip, this one might just make you want to book a flight, hire a campervan and disappear.

Briana Gervat is a historian, photographer, and an author who recently published her memoir, There Will Come Soft Rains: A Journey Along the Western Front.She is the first woman to walk the "Western Front Way" solo.In 2022, just as the world began to open after the isolation of a global pandemic, Briana Gervat set out to walk the length of the Western Front. Beginning at the border that France shares with Switzerland she went into the wild in search of hope and in search of peace. For 500 miles, she climbed over the mountains of the Vosges, through the battle-scarred landscapes of Verdun, the Marne, and the Somme, all the way to the North Sea in Belgium. It was not only a journey of 36 days, but a journey through a period of history that we have learned nothing from, only how not to repeat it. It is the story about what it means to walk through the remnants of history to feel its reverberations, to listen to its echoes, and with hope, to learn something along the way.he way you tell your story online can make all the difference.Very commendable and throught-provoking.Check out her website:https://www.theperegrinepilgrim.com/http://www.malcolmteasdale.com

Watch & Subscribe on YouTube @marladiann  What if the very thing you've been taught defines success… is the reason you burned out? In this inspiring episode of Follow Your Joy, we explore the powerful intersection of travel, intuition, and redefining success for women who have achieved — yet know there's much more. My guest's story is a prime example of how a NEW CHAPTER begins with discontent, uncertainty, a defining moment, and then burnout. If her journey of being pulled toward something different… more freedom, more adventure, more aliveness… then this conversation will surely resonate deeply. I'm joined by global travel journalist, author, and entrepreneur Jen Ruiz, whose story is a brilliant example of what happens when you stop following the expected path — and start following your joy. Jen went from practicing law to taking a bold leap: 12 trips in 12 months before her 30th birthday — a decision that completely transformed her life and career. Sometimes… the most powerful next step isn't more strategy — it's a plane ticket, a yes to yourself, and the courage to follow what feels true. Inside this episode, we talk about: •        Why traditional "success metrics" rooted in hustle and logic often lead to burnout •        Jen's personal story of heartbreak, solo travel, and unexpected magic that led to her newest memoir •        How travel becomes a catalyst for clarity, healing, and reinvention •        The importance of blending feminine intuition with masculine structure for true alignment •        The role intuition plays in making bold life and business decisions •        Why women don't need to wait for the "perfect time" to start living fully Jen shares how she now uses her platform to amplify local and women-owned businesses around the world — combining her background in law with storytelling, advocacy, and global impact. This conversation is a reminder that: Success isn't just what you build. It's how you feel while living your life. Jen is offering a free 5-Day Travel Writing Challenge to help you craft compelling pitches and land your first paid travel assignment.

Hey everybody! Episode 188 of the show is out. In this episode, I spoke with my friend Marta Wanderlust for her second appearance on the podcast—the first was five years ago, back in episode 16. Since then, Marta has become a mother of two, and this conversation centers largely on motherhood and the birthing process. We explore the parallels between birth and plant medicine ceremonies, birth as an initiation and threshold, the medicalization of childbirth and its downsides, and how birth itself can be a path to God. Marta also speaks to the role of Christ and faith, the reclamation of women's sovereignty, and what that return of power could mean for a society less dependent on institutions and hierarchy. This was a deeply fascinating conversation about life, and Marta's grounded, experiential wisdom truly shines through. I trust you'll gain a lot from this one.

In this episode of Your Employment Matters, Beverly Williams welcomes Dr. John Huber and his son Sean Huber for a candid conversation about career paths, parenting, risk taking, and what it really means to build a satisfying life. Dr. Huber shares his journey from West Orange, New Jersey to the University of Pennsylvania School of Dental Medicine and eventually into private practice. He speaks openly about the persistence it took to gain admission to dental school, the value of mentorship, and how staying connected to scholarship sponsors and professional relationships helped shape his long-term success. His story reinforces a powerful truth: relationships are assets, and gratitude plus follow-through matter. Sean's path looks very different but carries the same underlying themes. After studying film at Drexel University, he left a job he loved to tour full time with his band Modern Baseball. What could have been a risky detour became a defining chapter. Touring the U.S., Europe, New Zealand, and beyond taught him resilience, adaptability, and problem solving. Today, he continues to perform while building a meaningful career in the craft beer industry. Now at Triple Bottom Brewing in Philadelphia, Sean works at a certified B Corp that operates on a “beer, people, planet” model. Beyond producing beer, the brewery runs a 16-week apprenticeship program for justice-affected and housing-insecure individuals, offering job training, reentry support, and employment placement. It is business with intention, not just profit. Throughout the conversation, several key themes emerge: Networking is not manipulation. It is intentional relationship building. Dr. Huber stayed in touch with scholarship sponsors and mentors, which opened doors and strengthened his professional foundation. Risk can be responsible. Sean's decision to leave a stable job for music was bold, but it was informed by passion and relationships. He never abandoned work ethic. Parents must balance protection and permission. Letting children travel, relocate, and pursue unconventional paths is difficult, but growth requires space. Satisfaction matters more than status. Both men emphasize enjoying their work. You can hear it in how they talk about it. Regret is usually about presence, not position. Dr. Huber wishes he had worked a little less and “smelled the roses” more. Sean wishes he had slowed down enough to absorb more culture and learning during his fast-paced touring years. The episode also touches on remote work and shifting workplace expectations post-COVID. Beverly reminds listeners that flexibility is possible, but profitability still drives business decisions. Employees must remain productive and adaptable. Employers must recognize that flexibility can strengthen performance and retention. What stands out most is the tone between father and son. There is respect, pride, and mutual recognition that hard work and character matter more than job titles. Different personalities. Different journeys. Same foundation. If you are navigating your own career crossroads, here are the takeaways: Build real relationships and maintain them. Choose paths that align with your values and energy. Accept that change is part of growth. Understand that success is rarely linear. Remember that satisfaction sustains performance. Careers evolve. Industries shift. Opportunities appear in unexpected places. The key is staying open, staying connected, and staying committed to doing good work wherever you land.

In this episode, Laura is joined by Dr. Crystal Moten, an award-winning writer, historian, and expert on Black women's history who has spent her career amplifying the lives and labors of Black women. Dr. Moten introduces the concept of professional wanderlust, a term she coined to reframe how we think about career mobility. Drawing inspiration from the idea of wanderlust in travel, she explores how many Black women navigate their careers as spaces of learning, growth, and exploration rather than following a single, linear path. A self-described professional wanderlust herself, Dr. Moten shares how she once felt shame about frequently changing roles before recognizing the deeper power in refusing to wait for permission to pursue opportunity, wellbeing, and alignment. Through both personal experience and historical insight, she challenges the stigma often attached to "job hopping" and invites listeners to see career movement through a more expansive lens. Together, Laura and Dr. Moten discuss the many reasons Black women move between roles—from seeking fair compensation to leaving toxic work environments to pursuing personal growth and joy. The conversation highlights how career mobility can be both a strategic and liberatory response to workplace realities. Aligned with Season 8's theme Leaning Into Joy, this episode encourages listeners to reimagine their professional journeys as acts of courage, curiosity, and self-determination.   About Crystal Dr. Crystal Marie Moten is an award-winning writer and expert on Black women's history.  She has spent her professional life amplifying the life and labors of Black women. A self-proclaimed "professional wanderlust," she is one of many Black women who have left job after job for a myriad of personal and professional reasons. At first, this continual movement made her ashamed–until she recognized the power in refusing to wait for anyone's permission to reclaim her destiny, walk in her power and write her own ticket.

her phone.Nl: "We hebben een schema, Jeroen", herinnerde ze hem.En: "We have a schedule, Jeroen," she reminded him.Nl: Maar Jeroen's glimlach was onweerstaanbaar, en Lotte, altijd klaar voor een avontuur, moedigde het idee aan.En: But Jeroen's smile was irresistible, and Lotte, always ready for an adventure, encouraged the idea.Nl: "Kom op, Sanne, het is lente!En: "Come on, Sanne, it's spring!Nl: En trouwens, ik wil wat mooie foto's maken!"En: Besides, I want to take some beautiful pictures!"Nl: Met enige aarzeling stemde Sanne toe.En: With some hesitation, Sanne agreed.Nl: "Oké, maar laten we het kort houden."En: "Okay, but let's keep it short."Nl: Jeroen draaide de auto de zijweg op.En: Jeroen turned the car onto the side road.Nl: De weg kronkelde langs groene polders en kleine boerderijen.En: The road wound past green polders and small farms.Nl: Al snel werden ze begroet door het levendige schouwspel van de tulpenvelden van Lisse.En: Soon they were greeted by the

opgesteld.En: In her mind, she weighed enjoying the moment against the tight schedule she had planned.Nl: "Jeroen, kijk dit!En: "Jeroen, look at this!"Nl: ", riep Lotte uit terwijl ze een foto maakte van een bij die op een bloem landde.En: Lotte called out as she took a picture of a bee landing on a flower.Nl: "Het is prachtig," gaf Jeroen toe terwijl hij naar Sanne lachte.En: "It's beautiful,"

free.Nl: "Waarom ook niet?En: "Why not?"Nl: ", dacht ze.En: she thought.Nl: Naarmate de middag vorderde, genoten ze alle drie van de rust en schoonheid van de tulpenvelden.En: As the afternoon progressed, the three of them enjoyed the peace and beauty of the tulip fields.Nl: De kleurige bloemen en de frisse lucht maakten de vertraging meer dan de moeite waard.En: The colorful flowers and fresh air made the delay more than worth it.Nl: Jeroen was opgelucht dat zijn impulsieve beslissing iedereen gelukkig had gemaakt.En: Jeroen was relieved that his impulsive decision had made everyone happy.Nl: En Sanne, die geleerd had het onverwachte te omarmen, ontdekte dat soms het mooiste avontuur op een zijweg te vinden is.En: And Sanne, who had learned to embrace the unexpected, discovered that sometimes the most beautiful adventure is found on a side road.Nl: Terwijl ze terugliepen naar de auto, was de zon begonnen te zakken en blonken de kleuren van de tulpen in het gouden avondlicht.En: As they walked back to the car, the sun had begun to set, and the colors of the tulips gleamed in the golden evening light.Nl: "Dank je wel, Jeroen," zei Sanne zacht.En: "Thank you, Jeroen," Sanne said softly.Nl: "Je had gelijk.En: "You were right.Nl: Soms is het goed om de planning te laten varen."En: Sometimes it's good to let go of the planning."Nl: Met een glimlach tussen hen reden ze verder, met de wetenschap dat de beste herinneringen vaak ontstaan als je even van het pad afwijkt.En: With a smile between them, they drove on, knowing that the best memories often come from deviating from the path.
