Shownotes

There is a trip on your list. Maybe it has been there for years. And every time you almost book it, something gets in the way — the kids, the calendar, the voice that says not yet.

In this episode, Kathy sits down with storyteller, creative strategist, and global nomad Natasha Ibrahim — who has traveled to 56 countries and built a community of women living life on their own terms — to explore what that pull toward somewhere new is really about.

Because wanderlust is not just restlessness, it is your body asking you a real question. And this summer, it deserves a real answer.

Natasha has built a community called Girl Boss Abroad — a space for women who want to travel intentionally and take care of themselves while doing it. She weaves breathwork, sound baths, and self-care rituals from cultures all over the world into the way she lives and moves.

In this conversation, Kathy and Natasha go deep into what summer travel actually does to a woman's body and nervous system, why so many high-achieving women show up somewhere beautiful and still can't fully arrive, and what it takes to finally give yourself permission to go.

WHAT YOU WILL LEARN:

— Why the trip you keep postponing may be one of the most important things you can say yes to this summer

— What travel does to the nervous system and why unfamiliar environments accelerate self-awareness

— The self-care rituals women around the world practice in summer that we in the West have almost entirely forgotten

— How to know in your body when a decision is right — even when the timing feels impossible

— What makes one trip transform you, and another simply exhaust you somewhere prettier
