Have you ever returned from a trip feeling different—clearer, lighter, or more certain about what needs to change? In this episode of Solo Travel Adventures, Cheryl explores why travel so often creates powerful life shifts and how it can move the needle in ways that years of “thinking about change” sometimes can’t.Blending personal experience with psychological insight, Cheryl reflects on how walking the Camino reshaped her priorities and helped her return home with healthier boundaries and a slower, more intentional pace. We look at why purposeful travel disrupts autopilot thinking, loosens identity pressures, and creates space for clarity, healing, and renewal—mentally, emotionally, and spiritually.What You’ll HearWhy people often experience major life clarity after travelHow travel breaks the illusion that your current life is the only optionThe brain science behind novelty, movement, and presenceHow travel removes social roles and helps you hear your true desiresWhy insight gained on the road integrates faster at homeHow therapy and travel work together—not against each otherWays to use intentional travel to support reflection and life changeKey TakeawaysTravel works through lived experience, not just reflectionNew environments pull your brain out of autopilot and old patternsStepping outside familiar roles creates space for discernmentPurposeful travel can clarify what’s no longer working in your lifeOne intentional trip can spark meaningful, sustainable changeResources & LinksLearn more about Cheryl and her 1:1 coaching:https://www.cherylbeckesch.comEmail: [email protected]: @solotraveladventures50Coaching InvitationIf you’re feeling stuck, restless, or quietly longing for change, this is something I support women with in 1:1 coaching.
