EP 43: Becoming Myself Abroad - The Freedom We Find When We Travel

In this episode of Soul Therapy, with Chelle, I share a deeply personal journey of rediscovery - one that unfolded during my travels through Italy and Greece. It was a time when I began responding not to who I used to be, but to who I am now.

As I wandered through sunlit streets, tasted lemon trees in the air, and ran laughing through the Tuscan rain, I felt something awaken - a sense of aliveness I’d forgotten. Travel, for me, became more than a change of scenery; it became a mirror. It reflected back the parts of myself I’d hidden, the ones craving softness, freedom, and joy.

Through the lens of Gestalt therapy, I explore what it means to reconnect with the body, to soften perfectionism, and to trust life as it unfolds. Each moment - from choosing a bright dress to speaking imperfect Italian - became an invitation to meet myself with curiosity instead of control.

In this episode, I reflect on:
✨ How travel awakens presence and sensory awareness
✨ The beauty of letting go of perfection and leading with curiosity
✨ The deep emotional bond we form with places and moments
✨ How spontaneity builds self-trust and resilience
✨ Ways to bring your “travel self” - the one who says yes to life - home with you

You don’t need another plane ticket to rediscover yourself. She’s already within you, waiting to be invited home.
