Hey travel-lovers! In this week’s episode, I had the pleasure of hosting Maddie Smith, of onthemovewithmad. She is a DC-based, full-time social media influencer with a focus on travel and more specifically, short-form travel that she call’s Out n Back trips. We explore the concept and perks of adding these shorter day trips into your travel schedule as well as Maddie’s strategy for planning these trips and maximizing her time in each place. We also talk about self-confidence, independence, taking risks, putting yourself out there, and going all in on yourself. We get into the importance of consistency and authenticity when it comes to growing your brand and business as well as the importance of balancing self accountability and self compassion.
