Welcome fellow worry-warts! This week's episode is all about balancing your mental health with your travel and adventure goals. I had the pleasure of chatting with Jessy Vanpoperinghe, or the.worried.wanderer, and we get into how we are each exploring the world and enjoying adventurous lifestyles despite our anxieties. We talk about some of the paradoxes anxious travelers face, some trips for managing your stress and working with yourself rather than against your brain, and the importance of pursuing the adventurous lifestyle you crave, even when your brain tries to psyche you out! Also, there's talk about cats!
