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.

Fluent Fiction - Korean: Finding Secret Blooms: A Spring Adventure in Seoul Find the full episode transcript, vocabulary words, and more:fluentfiction.com/ko/episode/2026-04-26-22-34-01-ko Story Transcript:Ko: 서울 식물원은 봄의 생기로 가득했습니다.En: The Seoul Botanical Garden was filled with the vitality of spring.Ko: 한낮의 따사로운 햇살 아래, 푸른 잔디와 형형색색의 꽃들이 아름다움을 뽐내며 생명을 노래하고 있었습니다.En: Under the warm midday sun, the green grass and colorful flowers boasted their beauty and sang of life.Ko: 제이홉과 민지는 그런 풍경 사이를 걷고 있었습니다.En: J-Hope and Minji were walking amidst such a landscape.Ko: 둘은 큰 투어 그룹의 일원이었지만, 가이드는 지나치게 크고 허둥대는 모자 때문에 앞이 잘 보이지 않아, 그룹이 한 순간에 혼란에 빠졌습니다.En: They were part of a large tour group, but the guide, due to an overly large and scrambling hat, couldn't see well, throwing the group into confusion in an instant.Ko: 그때, 식물학에 흥미가 많은 제이홉의 눈에 희귀한 한국 난초가 스쳤습니다.En: At that moment, a rare Korean orchid caught the eye of J-Hope, who was very interested in botany.Ko: 그는 잠시 주위를 둘러보다 민지를 보며 말했다. "저기 난초가 있어! 좀 더 가까이 가서 볼 수 있을까?"En: He looked around briefly and then said to Minji, "Look, there's an orchid over there! Can we get a closer look?"Ko: 민지는 카메라를 들고 주변을 둘러보며 살짝 걱정스레 말했다. "우리가 그룹에서 너무 멀리 떨어지지 않는 게 좋을 것 같아. 하지만 당신이 정말로 보고 싶다면, 잠깐 가보자."En: Minji, holding a camera and looking around, said with slight concern, "I think it's better if we don't stray too far from the group. But if you really want to see it, let's go for a moment."Ko: 둘은 조용히 사라져가는 그룹을 뒤로하고, 난초가 있는 방향으로 좀 더 깊이 들어갔습니다.En: They quietly left the disappearing group and went deeper in the direction of the orchid.Ko: 제이홉은 흥분된 마음으로 서서히 다른 식물에 대해서도 설명하기 시작했습니다.En: J-Hope, with excitement, slowly began to explain about other plants as well.Ko: 민지는 조심성 많았지만, 제이홉이 너무나 행복해하는 모습을 보니 함께 다니고 싶었습니다.En: Although Minji was cautious, seeing J-Hope so happy made her want to stay with him.Ko: 그러나 언제든 길을 잃을 수 있다는 걱정이 그녀의 마음을 놓아주지 않았습니다.En: However, the worry of losing their way never left her mind.Ko: 둘은 마음속 갈등을 안고 계속해서 걸었고, 점점 더 외진 곳으로 향했습니다.En: With inner conflict, they continued walking, heading towards increasingly remote areas.Ko: 그러나 세심한 제이홉의 눈과 직감 덕분에 아주 특별한 장소에 도착했습니다.En: But thanks to J-Hope's keen eyes and intuition, they arrived at a very special place.Ko: 그곳은 마치 숨겨진 보석과도 같았습니다.En: It was like a hidden gem.Ko: 여러 무리의 난초가 활짝 피어 빛나고 있었습니다.En: Several groups of orchids were in full bloom, shining brightly.Ko: 민지는 감동에 겨워 몇 장의 사진을 찍었습니다.En: Minji, overwhelmed with emotion, took a few photos.Ko: "이곳이야!" 제이홉은 웃으며 돌아서서 말했다.En: "This is it!" J-Hope said, turning around with a smile.Ko: 그는 자신의 이론이 맞았다는 사실에 기뻐했습니다.En: He was delighted that his theory was correct.Ko: 민지는 그러한 순간을 캡처하며 진짜 자연의 신비를 느꼈습니다.En: Capturing such a moment, Minji felt the true mystery of nature.Ko: 기억 속의 랜드마크들을 따라 둘은 방향을 잡고 걸었습니다.En: Following landmarks in their memory, they found their way back.Ko: 다행히 그들은 쉽게 길을 찾았고, 곧 그룹에 합류했습니다.En: Fortunately, they easily found the path and soon rejoined the group.Ko: 다시 만난 가이드는 둘을 보고 놀랐지만, 제이홉과 민지는 서로의 경험을 이야기하며 웃음을 나눴습니다.En: The guide, surprised to see them, looked on as J-Hope and Minji shared their experiences, laughing together.Ko: 이제 제이홉은 자신의 식물학적 지식에 더 많은 자신감을 가지게 되었고, 민지는 예기치 않은 여행의 기쁨을 배웠습니다.En: Now, J-Hope had greater confidence in his botanical knowledge, and Minji discovered the joy of an unexpected journey.Ko: 서울 식물원의 봄날은 그렇게 두 사람에게 특별한 기억으로 남았습니다.En: The spring day in the Seoul Botanical Garden remained a special memory for both of them.

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

Fluent Fiction - Korean: Chasing Dawn: A Gobi Desert Sunrise Adventure Find the full episode transcript, vocabulary words, and more:fluentfiction.com/ko/episode/2026-04-08-07-38-19-ko Story Transcript:Ko: 고비 사막의 밤은 조용하고 차가웠다.En: The night in the Gobi Desert was quiet and cold.Ko: 별빛이 사막 위에 반짝였다.En: Starlight was twinkling above the desert.Ko: 대지에는 아침 이슬이 살짝 내렸고, 하늘은 점점 빛깔을 바꾸고 있었다.En: A hint of morning dew had settled on the earth, and the sky was gradually changing its colors.Ko: 미호와 수경은 함께 여행을 떠난 친구였다.En: Miho and Sookyung were friends on a journey together.Ko: 이번 여행의 목적은 바로 훗날 추억이 될 아름다운 일출 사진을 찍는 것이었다.En: The purpose of this trip was to take beautiful sunrise photos that would become treasured memories in the future.Ko: 미호는 흥분을 감출 수 없었다.En: Miho couldn't contain her excitement.Ko: "수경아, 저 모래 언덕에 올라가면 일출을 멋지게 찍을 수 있을 거야,"라고 미호가 말했다.En: "Sookyung, if we climb up that sand dune, we can take amazing sunrise photos," said Miho.Ko: 그의 목소리에는 모험에 대한 열정이 가득했다.En: Her voice was filled with a passion for adventure.Ko: 반면 수경은 걱정 가득한 얼굴로 주변을 살폈다.En: On the other hand, Sookyung surveyed their surroundings with a concerned expression.Ko: "고비 사막은 만만치 않은 곳이야. 조심해야 해," 수경이 조언했다.En: "The Gobi Desert isn't an easy place. We need to be careful," Sookyung advised.Ko: 둘은 일찌감치 출발해 모래 언덕을 향해 걸었다.En: They set off early and walked toward the sand dunes.Ko: 시간이 촉박했다.En: Time was pressing.Ko: 하늘은 서서히 밝아오기 시작했다.En: The sky was beginning to brighten gradually.Ko: 미호는 사진 포인트에 빨리 도착하고 싶었다.En: Miho was eager to reach the photo spot quickly.Ko: "저쪽으로 가면 시간이 단축될 거야. 지름길이야," 미호는 새로운 경로를 제안했다.En: "If we go that way, we'll save time. It's a shortcut," Miho suggested a new route.Ko: 수경은 잠시 망설였다.En: Sookyung hesitated for a moment.Ko: "여기가 낯설잖아, 위험할 수도 있어," 그녀는 고민하며 말했다.En: "This place is unfamiliar, it could be dangerous," she said, pondering.Ko: 하지만 미호의 설득에 결국 수경은 동의했다.En: But Miho's persuasion eventually swayed Sookyung.Ko: 두 사람은 모래 언덕 사이를 조심스럽게 걸었다.En: The two carefully navigated between the sand dunes.Ko: 하지만 시간이 갈수록 방향 감각을 잃었다.En: However, as time went by, they lost their sense of direction.Ko: 어느 길로 가야 할지 몰라 망설였다.En: They hesitated, unsure of which way to go.Ko: 저 멀리 하늘은 이미 여명으로 물들기 시작했다.En: In the distance, the sky had already begun to be tinged with dawn.Ko: "어떡하지? 시간이 없어!" 미호는 초조해 했다.En: "What should we do? We're running out of time!" Miho said anxiously.Ko: 수경은 차분하게 말했다.En: Sookyung spoke calmly.Ko: "잠시만, 내가 지도와 나침반을 볼게."En: "Wait a moment, I'll check the map and compass."Ko: 그녀는 천천히 방향을 계산했다. 그리고 희미한 길을 따라갔다.En: She slowly calculated their direction and followed a faint path.Ko: "이쪽이 맞을 거야. 나를 믿어," 그녀는 미호에게 확신 있게 말했다.En: "This way should be right. Trust me," she said confidently to Miho.Ko: 드디어 언덕 정상에 도착했을 땐, 하늘은 이미 주홍빛으로 물들고 있었다.En: When they finally reached the top of the dune, the sky was already tinted with a crimson glow.Ko: 미호는 카메라를 들고 숨을 죽였다.En: Miho held her breath and raised her camera.Ko: 그와 동시에 해가 지평선 위로 떠올랐다.En: At that moment, the sun rose above the horizon.Ko: 금빛 햇살이 모래 언덕 사이로 퍼져 나갔다.En: Golden sunlight spread between the sand dunes.Ko: 아름다운 광경이었다.En: It was a beautiful sight.Ko: 촬영을 마친 후, 미호는 수경에게 감사했다.En: After finishing the shoot, Miho thanked Sookyung.Ko: "너 덕분에 멋진 사진을 찍었어," 미호가 미소 지으며 말했다.En: "Thanks to you, I took amazing photos," Miho said, smiling.Ko: 수경은 고개를 끄덕였다.En: Sookyung nodded.Ko: "가끔은 조심성이 모험을 더욱 가치 있게 만들어," 그녀는 대답했다.En: "Sometimes being cautious makes the adventure more worthwhile," she replied.Ko: 그렇게 그들은 경험과 교훈을 담은 새로운 추억을 얻었다.En: In this way, they gained new memories filled with experiences and lessons.Ko: 미호는 수경의 판단을 신뢰하는 법을 배웠고, 둘은 함께하며 모험의 의미를 새롭게 찾았다.En: Miho learned to trust Sookyung's judgment, and together, they rediscovered the meaning of adventure.Ko: 사막의 일출은 그들에게 중요한 가르침을 선사했다.En: The sunrise in the desert offered them important teachings.

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.

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.

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.

village to spend a weekend away from the city.Nl: Sanne had de route zorgvuldig uitgestippeld, maar Jeroen, met zijn avontuurlijke geest, had andere plannen.En: Sanne had carefully mapped out the route, but Jeroen, with his adventurous spirit, had other plans.Nl: "Wat dacht je van een kleine omweg?En: "What do you think about a little detour?"Nl: ", stelde Jeroen voor, terwijl hij naar een zijweg wees die leidde naar Lisse.En: Jeroen suggested as he pointed to a side road leading to Lisse.Nl: Sanne zuchtte en keek naar de tijd op haar telefoon.En: Sanne sighed and looked at the time on 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 vibrant display of the tulip fields of Lisse.Nl: De bloemen stonden in volle bloei, een kleurrijk tapijt van rode, gele en roze tinten zover het oog reikte.En: The flowers were in full bloom, a colorful carpet of red, yellow, and pink hues as far as the eye could see.Nl: Een zachte bries vulde de lucht met de zoete geur van bloeiende bloemen.En: A gentle breeze filled the air with the sweet scent of blooming flowers.Nl: Toen ze uitstapten, rende Lotte meteen naar de velden, haar camera in de aanslag.En: As they got out, Lotte immediately ran towards the fields, her camera at the ready.Nl: Jeroen volgde, vol bewondering voor het onverwachte landschap.En: Jeroen followed, full of admiration for the unexpected landscape.Nl: Sanne bleef even bij de auto staan, kijkend naar het tafereel voor haar.En: Sanne stayed by the car for a moment, looking at the scene before her.Nl: In haar hoofd woog ze het genieten van het moment af tegenover de strakke planning die ze had 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," Jeroen admitted as he smiled at Sanne.Nl: Sanne voelde een zekere weerstand smelten.En: Sanne felt a certain resistance melt away.Nl: Ze haalde diep adem en besloot haar zorgen over de tijd los te laten.En: She took a deep breath and decided to let go of her worries about the time.Nl: "Sanne, kom hier!En: "Sanne, come here!"Nl: ", riep Jeroen, wijzend naar een bijzonder schitterend stuk van het veld.En: Jeroen called, pointing to a particularly brilliant part of the field.Nl: Sanne liep naar hem toe en voelde zich ineens licht en vrij.En: Sanne walked over to him and suddenly felt light and 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.

This week, we're honored to welcome Brian Kuchinski, founder of Peaceful Ponds and a lifelong seeker of beauty, meaning, and connection through nature. Known for helping people “find their zen” by recreating waterfalls, streams, and tranquil outdoor spaces, Brian's work is deeply tied to the way he lives his life, guided by inspiration, gratitude, and action.Brian takes us on a powerful journey that begins with a spontaneous family trip to Iceland and unfolds into something far deeper. What starts as a story about chasing waterfalls and the Northern Lights becomes a reflection on listening to the universe, recognizing moments of awe, and trusting the quiet nudges that invite us into adventure. Along the way, Brian shares how travel, nature, and coincidence have repeatedly aligned in ways that feel anything but accidental.At the heart of this conversation is Brian's experience with profound loss, the death of his son, Xander, and how that loss reshaped his understanding of purpose, love, and gratitude. He opens up about the “Xander miracles” that continue to show up in his life, the healing paths he's walked, and the simple but life changing truth that now guides him. The universe wants us to be happy, and gratitude is the key.In this episode, we explore inspired wanderlust, the healing power of nature, turning inspiration into action, and what it means to live fully even after deep heartbreak. Join us for a moving, honest conversation about choosing awe over fear, finding peace in unexpected places, and making it happen, one dream at a time.

Why does riding a bike feel like the purest way to experience the world?In this episode, I sit down with Mark Beaumont to talk about bike travel, wanderlust, and what he's learnt after spending two decades taking human powered adventures.Beyond his achievements as a world record holder, Mark also shares how his relationship with adventure has evolved over time. Why endurance is often more mental than physical, and how cycling reveals the gradual shifts between cultures, geography, and ways of life.We discuss the accountability in professional adventure, and the key differences between riding for yourself and riding for work. We also touch on how Mark's travels have shaped his work in sustainability, using his experience and platform to connect people, ideas, and projects that can create meaningful impact.If you're drawn to long rides, empty roads, and travel that prioritises experience over outcomes, this conversation will resonate.

A Year of Adventure: Why 2025 Set the Bar High2025 was stacked. International trips, deep dives into U.S. cities, mountain towns, beach escapes, national parks, and friendships that only happen when you travel together. From Europe to the Caribbean to coast-to-coast U.S. adventures, this year reminded us why we started The Travel Brats in the first place:Travel opens doors—to places, people, and moments you never forget. 

Step into the world of David Belmont and you'll find yourself somewhere between a jazz riff, a poetry line, and a road trip that definitely skipped the exit ramp. David is a lifelong musician, writer, mixed-media artist, and a certified original, the kind of counter-culture cool you don't try to manufacture. He's effortlessly hip, wildly curious, and just mischievous enough to make life more interesting.On this episode of Speaking of Travel, David takes us on a joyride through a life lived off-script. From seeing America for the first time through a car window to accidentally landing in a secret Mardi Gras parade, from a double rainbow over a Scottish loch to jamming on a Trinidad beach, sharing songs with strangers in Jamaica, joining a Balinese funeral, or trading musical conversations on the Yangtze River, this is a life powered by curiosity, connection, and a refusal to stay in one lane.The conversation is funny, soulful, and delightfully unpredictable, just like David himself. It's about listening closely to the world, riffing with it, marching to its weird little rhythms, and trusting that the best moments usually happen when plans fall apart. This is travel as improvisation. In other words equal parts art, rebellion, and heart.By the end, you'll feel like you've wandered alongside him, laughing at the beautiful chaos of it all, catching glimpses of hidden magic, and feeling the itch to shake things up in your own life. David quietly reminds us that the coolest way to move through the world is with curiosity, compassion, and a little funk, weaving music, kindness, and community into every space, and proving that real change starts by listening and showing up as your most authentic self.Only on Speaking of Travel! Stay tuned! Thanks for listening to Speaking of Travel! Visit speakingoftravel.net for travel tips, travel stories, and ways you can become a more savvy traveler.

Wanderlust doesn't usually show up quietly. It shows up as a pull — a photo that stops your scroll, a video that makes your stomach flutter, a sudden desire to be somewhere else. It's exciting, energizing, and often a little distracting… and for most people, it stays right there as a daydream. In this episode, we're talking about how to make wanderlust actually work for you. Instead of treating it like a passing fantasy, we explore how that feeling can point you toward the kind of trip you're truly craving — one that fits your life, your season, and your energy. This conversation is about turning that spark into something actionable, so wanderlust becomes a guide instead of a tease — and helps you plan travel that feels intentional, aligned, and worth taking. → SEE ANGELA'S VACATION PLANNING SUPPORT SERVICES AT WILD HAIR TRAVELS← Connect w/ Angela on Instagram LISTEN BACK: Episode 10: Behind the Name Wild Hair Travels Episode 107: How to JUMPSTART Your Vacation Planning Episode 170: A Travel Challenge for Next Year Episode 171: How to Start Taking Vacations Again
