Kim Kephart is a solo travel writer, hiker, and military spouse who proves that adventure doesn't have an expiration date. After years of moving across Europe and Asia with her husband's military career, Kim learned to carve out her own path through solo travel and hiking. Through her blog, Kimberly Kephart Travels, she helps women build confidence through travel—especially those who feel like they've missed the window for bold choices. In this episode, Laura and Kim discuss her journey from following someone else's timeline to creating her own path, why the best time to start your adventure might be right now, and how she maintains independence while moving countries every few years. They tackle that invisible permission we think we need and why the grass isn't always greener—even in Europe.
