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.
