Nothing has impacted Ariel Travis more than the one thing so many of us fear: International travel.
Journey back in time and you won’t find this professional pediatric medical speech-language pathologist in clean scrubs. The true beginning of her career started in a rugged fashion; she joined the Peace Corps just two weeks fresh out of collage before living and working in Mozambique, Brazil, China, and the Dominican Republic for the next seven years. When she finally returned to the US she realized that her unruly adventures gave her the confidence, flexibility, and compassion to thrive in her day-to-day work environment.
In this episode Ariel dispels myths about traveling as a young person, inspires nervous listeners to book their first trip, and teaches how to decrease baseline travel anxieties by planning ahead and tuning into our bodies. As someone who has explored over 29 countries, Ariel gives nuanced advice on how much planning allows for safety AND travel magic during our journeys.
Join this international speaker, creator of Wander Lounge podcast, and CEO of Nomadic Perspectives, LLC as we hitch-hike 900 miles from Mozambique to Zimbabwe, running into herds of wild elephants and making friends with complete strangers along the way.
Learn how to build confidence, courage, character, and your dream career through travel.

82. Body Liberation For All With Anti-Diet Dietitian Taylor Wolfram
An anti-diet dietitian sounds like an oxymoron, but when it comes to true health, nutrition, and healing it's exactly what the world needs. Enter: Taylor Wolfram.
After becoming disenchanted with standard Western ways of helping clients, Taylor Wolfram set out to create her own weight neutral, anti-diet practice that considers how body politics affect us all, human or beyond.
Though we usually connect food with just fullness and hunger, Taylor explains how food impacts our focus, mood stability, brain function, motivation, and nervous system regulation. In this episode we not only discuss the impacts of restricting food, but ways to heal your relationship with it and your body.
We dive into the difference of subjectively vs objectively being with your body, unpack why an unnourished brain can't do the deeper healing work, and untangle veganism vs a plant-based, health-focused diet.
“If you don’t currently feel connected to your body or like you can trust your body, know that you can get there. We are all born embodied, intuitive creatures — we’re just conditioned out of it.”
