Why You Should Stop Waiting for the “Right Time” to Take a Career Break (Taking A Career Break with Katrina Crossover)This week on Winging It, I'm sharing a special crossover episode from my other podcast, Taking A Career Break with Katrina McGhee. I really feel our two audiences do crossover, so I am sharing one of our most popular episodes with you. Please check out the rest of the catalogue for everything relating to a career break.Episode 67 - Why You Should Stop Waiting for the “Right Time” to Take a Career Break ShownotesIf you've ever dreamed of taking a career break, travelling the world, changing direction, or simply pressing pause on the life you've built, you've probably told yourself the same thing many of us do:"I'll do it when the timing is right."The truth is, there may never be a perfect time.In this episode, Katrina and I dive into one of the biggest reasons people never take a career break: waiting for the mythical "right time." We explore why life will always present obstacles, why fear often disguises itself as practicality, and how delaying your dreams can lead to years of wondering "what if?"Is there ever a right time to take a career break—or are you just waiting forever?From economic uncertainty and job market fears to internal pressure and workplace guilt, they unpack why it always feels like the wrong time—and why that thinking is keeping you stuck.Katrina introduces the concept of PHOBO (Fear of Becoming Obsolete) and explains how this fear shows up both before and during a career break—often preventing people from fully committing to the change they need.You'll learn why the “perfect moment” doesn't exist, how your brain is wired to keep you in survival mode, and what it actually takes to create a good enough time to step away and reset your life.If you've been telling yourself “maybe next year” or “once things settle down,” this episode will challenge that narrative—and help you take your first real step toward a career break.Taking A Career Break with Katrina McGheeApple Podcasts - https://podcasts.apple.com/ca/podcast/taking-a-career-break-with-katrina-mcghee/id1772602758Spotify - https://open.spotify.com/show/1lRPigXIghYUw82Eqak0mF?si=b956d5b826df4cf1YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/@TakingaCareerBreakwithKatrinaReady to stop "running on empty" and start running toward a life you actually love?

I have been doing this for five years, and I believe sharing more personal details will help build a tighter Winging It community.I hope you enjoy the episode and that it inspires you to travel for the first time or to dream about making it a lifestyle.

Bhutan Travel Guide: Days 8-11, Travelling Solo, Flight To Bangkok With The Royal Family, Costs & Final ThoughtsIn this penultimate episode of my Bhutan Series on Winging It, I wrap up my 11-day trip to Bhutan and share my final experiences exploring Thimphu and Paro, plus my biggest takeaways from travelling through one of the most fascinating countries in the world.After originally planning a trek in the Haa Valley, I changed my itinerary and spent my final days wandering Bhutan's capital Thimphu, experiencing Bhutan's National Day celebrations, visiting local cafés, exploring markets, and eventually heading to Paro for my final night before flying back to Bangkok. I also give an idea of what budget day-to-day life is like when travelling solo in Bhutan.Along the way I stayed in luxury glamping tents in hills of Paro, met incredible locals, and had an unexpected moment on my flight to Bangkok when I discovered the King and Queen of Bhutan were on the same plane. I managed to speak to one of their closest advisors during the flight, which was a very interesting chat indeed!To wrap up the series, I also share my favourite experiences in Bhutan, practical Bhutan travel tips, what it actually costs to visit Bhutan, and advice for anyone planning their own trip to the Kingdom of the Thunder Dragon.If you're wondering how to visit Bhutan, what an itinerary looks like, or whether Bhutan is worth visiting, this episode brings together everything I learned from my time there.Check out my previous Bhutan episodesEpisode 1 Interview with Ugyen Rinzin - https://podcasts.apple.com/ca/podcast/winging-it-podcast/id1559489384?i=1000743770563Episode 2 - IMMERSIVE Hiking to Tiger's Nest Monastery - https://podcasts.apple.com/ca/podcast/winging-it-podcast/id1559489384?i=1000744754502Episode 3 - Days 1-3 solo episode - https://podcasts.apple.com/ca/podcast/winging-it-podcast/id1559489384?i=1000745691316Episode 4 - Interview with a female monk - https://podcasts.apple.com/ca/podcast/winging-it-podcast/id1559489384?i=1000747763604Episode 5 - IMMERSIVE Day in Bhutan - https://podcasts.apple.com/ca/podcast/winging-it-podcast/id1559489384?i=1000748856300Episode 6 - Ama Om Homestay Interview - https://podcasts.apple.com/ca/podcast/winging-it-podcast/id1559489384?i=1000750963609Episode 7 - Days 4-7 solo episode - https://podcasts.apple.com/ca/podcast/winging-it-podcast/id1559489384?i=1000752831510

Crystal Palace won at Craven Cottage for the third time this year, which raises the big philosophical question: do we get to keep Fulham now?The boys look ahead to the FA Cup defence with a first-round trip to Macclesfield – a new ground for many of the travelling faithful – and with four all-Premier League ties, we can't help but ask: what's stopping us from doing it all again in 2026?There's plenty off the pitch too: breaking ground on the new stand in January, the prospect of buying another club and forming a MCO and Glasner potentially hinting at a new contract.All that and much more on this week's episode of Winging It.

Ep 186 w/ Rachel Rudwall - From STA Travel to 80 Countries: Rachel's Journey as a Global StorytellerIn this episode of the Winging It Travel Podcast, I sit down with Rachel Rudwall, who is also known as Rachel Roams. Rachel is an Emmy-nominated on-camera Host, Producer, Camera Operator, Writer, and Award-Winning Photographer. Rachel has travelled to all seven continents, lived in three countries, and journeyed through over 80 nations. Rachel is also a Fellow of the Explorers Club and has an extensive social media following. I met Rachel last year at TravelCon, where she gave a very inspiring talk that captivated me, so I was eager to have her on the podcast for a conversation.From her early days in Ohio dreaming of the wider world, to landing a life-changing internship with STA Travel, Rachel's story is one of persistence, curiosity, and following her passion for exploration.Rachel shares how her time with STA Travel opened the door to a career in travel media, taking her from study abroad experiences in Spain and Scotland to a globe-spanning role as a video producer and host. We dive into the challenges and lessons of producing content before the days of YouTube dominance, what it takes to capture and hold an audience, and why storytelling always begins with putting the listener or viewer first.We also explore the reality behind the glamorous world of travel media — the grind of producing content, the countless hours behind the scenes, and the need to love the craft deeply enough to push through the hard days. Rachel discusses building her creative career in Los Angeles, collaborating with other storytellers, and carving out her niche in a male-dominated industry where persistence and proof of concept were crucial.On a personal level, Rachel reflects on how travel has evolved for her as a mother, from multi-month shoots to family adventures across Italy and beyond. She offers powerful insights into balancing work and family life, finding joy in simple experiences like visiting playgrounds and local grocery stores, and instilling a spirit of adventure in her child.This conversation is packed with travel inspiration, career lessons, and practical advice for content creators, adventurers, and dreamers alike. Whether you're fascinated by travel TV, curious about breaking into storytelling, or simply love hearing about epic adventures across 80 countries, Rachel's journey will spark your wanderlust and leave you inspired.Rachel RudwallWebsite - https://www.rachelroams.com/Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/rachelroams/?hl=enX - https://x.com/RachelRoams

Ep 185 w/ Matt Dennis On Travelling With A Disability: Breaking Barriers, Accessible Travel + MindsetIn this episode of the Winging It Travel Podcast, I'm joined by Matt Dennis — a travel writer, journalist, and accessibility advocate — to discuss his inspiring journey of travelling with a disability and how mindset can transform the way we see the world.Matt, also known as The Empowered Traveller, has been featured in publications like Metro, The Independent, Evening Standard, and Adventure.com. His work shines a light on accessible travel and how small changes in infrastructure, awareness, and attitude can open up destinations for millions of travellers worldwide.We dive into Matt's story of becoming disabled at 18, navigating life with a paralysed leg, and discovering the confidence and freedom that comes through travel. From interrailing across Europe with crutches and a backpack to advocating for accessibility at global tourism expos, Matt shows that travel is not just possible with a disability — it can be empowering and life-changing.Throughout the episode, Matt shares insights into the realities of accessible travel, including which destinations are leading the way and which still have a long way to go. We explore countries such as Canada, France, Albania, and India, and discuss how accessibility isn't just about wheelchair ramps — it's about inclusive design, public transportation, adapted activities, and, most importantly, mindset.This conversation also highlights why accessible tourism matters for everyone. With ageing populations and an increasing number of people living with mobility challenges, accessibility benefits not only disabled travellers but also seniors, families, and anyone who wants easier, more inclusive travel experiences.Whether you are a disabled traveller looking for tips, an industry professional seeking to understand the importance of accessibility, or simply curious about how to make travel more inclusive, this episode will open your eyes to the possibilities.We discuss:Matt's first major adventures travelling with crutches and a backpack across EuropeThe mental side of disability and how mindset influences what's possibleThe challenges and triumphs of accessibility in destinations around the worldWhy countries that embrace accessibility benefit travellers of all abilitiesHow accessible travel opens doors not just for disabled travellers, but for everyoneWhether you're a traveller with a disability, know someone who is, or want better to understand the importance of accessibility in global travel, this conversation will leave you inspired.Matt DennisWebsite - https://www.empoweredtraveller.com/YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/@TheEmpoweredTraveller-hh6vo

The conversation around publishing journeys is often binary: You either try traditionally publishing or choose self-publishing. But the reality for many authors is a combination of both. Author Chips Pons self-published his debut novel, You & I, Rewritten, in 2022. Now, he returns to bookshelves with her second novel, and first traditionally published, Winging It with You. In this episode of "Writer's Digest Presents," we chat with Chip about all things romance, from writing the will-they-won't-they scenes to infusing genuine miscommunication that everyone can relate to.

She dives into the power of intentional planning, strategic hiring, and clear marketing—all rooted in a strong, future-focused vision. If you're ready to stop guessing and start growing, this one's for you. Topics Mentioned: Missed Opportunities Peace Process Being Intentional Key Thoughts:  When I was winging it, I realized there was a huge cost to me, to my peace, to my time, and certainly to my money. Michele Williams   We're working on the wrong initiatives, the wrong plans, and things that might support us in the short term, but not in the long term. Michele Williams   I would like to work with an intentionality on where I'm going, what I'm doing, who I'm doing with, and how I'm going to show up in the world, because that brings me peace. Michele Williams   The goal here is to really be able to have an intentionality in what we are doing so that as we do it, we know that we are checking off those tasks and those goals that are moving us closer to the business that we want to become.

When a client's red goes wrong, they might not say anything… but you'll notice. The way they glance at their roots. The hesitant “It looks… good?” before rushing out the door. And then?

That's why I created Hair Painting for Redheads. So you can stop second-guessing, avoid costly redos, and confidently paint every red request—on purpose, not by accident. A proven system that teaches you to: Formulate reds with precision (no more guesswork!) Confidently fix any red disaster (before the client notices!)

In episode 7, John and Arvin discuss the skillful art of "WINGING IT."

This episode was too good to leave buried in the archives!Episode Highlights[00:01] The Costly Learning CurveRyan and Brook reflect on mistakes they wish they could have avoided when launching their coaching businesses—and how you can shortcut the process to success.[01:34] Mistake #1: Getting Ready to Get ReadyPerfectionism kills momentum. If you're stuck in “preparing” mode—chasing certifications, tweaking your program endlessly, or waiting for the right moment—it's time to launch.[08:15] Don't Build Your Program Before You Sell ItA hard truth: Many coaches spend months building a program only to realize no one buys it. Sell first, then build. Ryan and Brook explain why testing the market before you create is key.[14:06] Mistake #2: Building Your Business Around a TacticOne marketing trick won't build a sustainable business. Whether it's referrals, Facebook ads, or a trending strategy, you need a real business—not a one-trick marketing play.[28:28] Mistake #3: Pricing Yourself into the Ground (or Out of the Market)Underpricing leads to burnout, overpricing without proof sinks sales, and putting your rates on your website is a conversion killer. Learn how to price based on value, not just sessions.[43:04] Mistake #4: Winging It with SalesIf you don't have a structured sales process, you're losing clients who should be working with you. Ryan and Brook break down why sales isn't about “convincing”—it's about guiding.[50:37] Mistake #5: Thinking Like a Coach, Not a Business OwnerYou're not just a coach—you're an entrepreneur. The fastest-growing coaching businesses don't just focus on their craft; they master marketing, sales, systems, and leadership.
