What if the life you're dreaming about is waiting on the other side of one bold "yes"?

In this powerful episode of Girls Talk Healthy Aging, co-hosts Alli Kerr and Shawna Kaminski sit down with nomadic entrepreneur and boutique travel agency owner Julie Rose to explore what it really means to live a life of adventure—especially in midlife and beyond.

Julie shares how losing her job—and the identity tied to it—became the unexpected catalyst for a life-changing journey. One trip turned into a completely new way of living, proving that what feels like an ending can actually be the beginning of everything.

Together, the ladies dive into a truth many women quietly carry:
Too many are waiting… wishing… and putting off adventure. And over time, that hesitation can turn into resentment—toward ourselves or the people around us.

But there is another way.

This episode is your invitation to stop waiting and start living.

Alli, Shawna, and Julie also reflect on their recent transformational women's group trip to Peru with 25 incredible women. What could have been overwhelming or chaotic turned into something deeply meaningful—a powerful, drama-free experience filled with connection, growth, courage, and unforgettable memories.

They share:

• Why group travel can be the safest, easiest way to step outside your comfort zone
• The difference between a typical vacation and truly transformational travel
• How cultural immersion and physical challenges spark confidence and personal growth
• Why women traveling solo (even without knowing anyone) often have the most powerful experiences
• The unexpected bond that forms when women say "yes" together

If you listened to Episode 128, where three travelers shared their experiences, this episode gives you the hosts' behind-the-scenes perspective on why these trips are so impactful—and why they matter so much right now.

Because here's the truth:
Adventure doesn't require permission. It requires a decision.

And no matter your age, your next chapter can be your most exciting one yet.

What happens when 25 women—many over 50, many who've never traveled solo—say YES to a life-changing adventure?

In this humorous and mighty episode of Girls Talk Healthy Aging, co-hosts Alli Kerr and Shawna Kaminski sit down with three incredible women—Lenora, Kathy, and Kim—who took a bold leap and joined a 10-day Women's Sabbatical to Peru with Julie Rose. What unfolded was more than just a trip… it was transformation.

From the breathtaking beauty of Machu Picchu to the intense physical and mental challenge of the 1-Day Inca Trail hike to the Sun Gate, these women share raw, honest stories about stepping outside their comfort zones—and discovering who they truly are on the other side.

✨ In this episode, you'll discover:

• What holds women back from travel—and how to move past fear and doubt
• The courage it takes to travel without a spouse or companion for the first time
• How Lenora overcame resistance at home and chose herself anyway
• Kim's emotional journey conquering the Inca Trail in her 60s (and why it was one of the hardest things she's ever done)
• Kathy's pivot when altitude sickness forced her to change plans—and how it led to unexpected joy
• The truth about "drama" on women's trips—and what actually happens when empowered women come together
• Why saying YES to adventure in midlife can completely redefine your future

These women didn't just travel—they faced fears of the unknown, high altitude, physical limits, social anxiety, and even snakes in the Amazon jungle. And what they found was strength, connection, and a renewed sense of possibility.

If you've ever thought:
"Maybe someday…"
"What if I can't…"
"I wish I had someone to go with…"

This episode is your sign.

Because the truth is—adventure doesn't have an age limit. And your most exciting chapter might just be ahead of you.

🌍 And this is just the beginning…
We're already planning our next Girls Talk Healthy Aging adventure—and YOU are invited.

✨ Join us in Iceland in September 2027! ✨
If exploring breathtaking landscapes, connecting with incredible women, and challenging yourself in new ways sounds like your kind of adventure, keep listening and stay tuned.

More details are coming soon—so be on the lookout!

💥 Whether you're in your 40s, 50s, 60s or beyond, this conversation will inspire you to stop waiting, trust yourself, and say YES to the experiences calling your name.

What happens when the life you've built for decades suddenly changes—and you're left asking, "Who am I now?"

In this powerful episode of Girls Talk Healthy Aging, co-hosts Shawna Kaminski and Alli Kerr sit down with Dee Webb—wildlife photographer, yoga instructor, and global entrepreneur living between Canada and Costa Rica—to explore how one simple decision can completely transform your life: saying yes.

For 27 years, Dee built a meaningful career running a childcare business from her home. But when her children grew up and left the nest, she found herself facing overwhelming loneliness, loss of identity, and a lack of community. With her support system also struggling, Dee hit a crossroads that so many women experience in midlife.

Then—unexpectedly—she walked into a yoga class.

Not as the "flexible yoga girl," but as a woman searching for emotional healing, clarity, and purpose.

That moment led her to yoga therapy training… which sparked a journey of self-discovery, courage, and ultimately, reinvention.

From reconnecting with her love of the outdoors (rooted in her childhood in Australia) to saying YES to a spontaneous opportunity in Costa Rica after a simple Facebook post—Dee's story is proof that it's never too late to rewrite your life.

After a close friend's terminal cancer diagnosis gave her a new perspective, Dee made a life-altering mindset shift:
👉 Say no, and you'll always wonder. Say yes, and you might fall—but you'll learn, grow, and say yes again.

Today, she's a thriving entrepreneur, tour leader, and partner in a photography business—while also modeling for her daughters what it truly means to choose yourself.

In this episode, you'll learn:

• How to rebuild your identity after kids leave home (empty nest recovery)
• Why saying YES is the key to midlife reinvention and personal growth
• How yoga can support emotional healing—not just physical fitness
• The mindset shift that turns fear into opportunity
• How to create community and purpose after major life transitions
• Why choosing yourself is one of the most powerful lessons you can teach your children

If you're navigating midlife changes, feeling stuck, or craving more purpose, adventure, and fulfillment—this conversation will inspire you to take your first bold step.
