Episode 29: Solo Female Travel After Divorce: Finding Adventure and Building a Life You Love
What happens when you stop waiting for perfect timing and start saying yes to everything? Laura sits down with Teresa Kalina, who rebuilt her life after divorce at 44 by embracing every opportunity that came her way. From signing up for BumbleBFF to build new friendships, to traveling to five countries, taking singing lessons, learning to paint, and working toward visiting all 50 states before turning 50, Teresa proves that it's never too late to start over. They discuss why waiting for the "right time" is dangerous, how group travel creates instant community when you need it most, and why your 40s might be the best decade to reinvent yourself. If you've ever thought "it's too late for me," this conversation will change your mind.
Episode 23: Self-Discovery Through Travel After Divorce at 62
Kerry Breckle got divorced in her early 60s and decided to fall in love with life again. Before this transformation, Kerry was afraid of flying, uncomfortable being away from home for long, and spent her days reading books to pass the time instead of living her own adventures. She describes that version of herself as "just existing"—a feeling many of us recognize when we're unhappy. The Kerry you'll meet in this episode is radically different. She's the woman who jumped into a hot air balloon over ancient pyramids in Mexico and got her first tattoo at 63 in a foreign country. In this powerful conversation, Kerry and Laura discuss the messy reality of starting over: the fear, the doubt, navigating divorce while booking plane tickets to unfamiliar destinations with strangers. Kerry's core message is both simple and revolutionary: You have a choice. Are you going to be bitter or better?
