Embark with Rita and myself on an enthralling exploration of San Miguel de Allende, Mexico—where a curtain of darkness from a city-wide blackout veiled our path, yet opened our eyes to the profound lessons of safety and vulnerability encountered while traveling. We're then joined by an extraordinary guest, Colleen O'Neill Mulvihill, whose transition from the adrenaline-fueled life of a firefighter to a serene path as a holistic health and wellness coach paints an inspiring narrative. Together, we unravel the common fears that shackle many to their comfort zones and illuminate how embracing the unknown can redefine our perspective on well-being and the world.

As the conversation unfolds, we delve into Colleen's innovative mission to embolden women over 40 to intertwine the restorative art of travel with their wellness journeys. We confront the often challenging reality of maintaining healthy habits upon returning home and share actionable insights into the profound impact that local food sourcing and embracing nature can have on our health. Colleen's transformative retreat to Ecuador serves as a beacon, reminding us all of the sheer vitality of integrating movement and the outdoors into our daily practices. Tune in for a heartfelt discussion that transcends the simple act of travel, guiding us toward a life brimming with balance, joy, and discovery.
