Yesterday I had the utmost pleasure of speaking at the Women’s Travel Festival here in New York on the topic of “Ditching the 9 to 5.” The room was filled with wonderful women who had gathered together to hear my story and any actionable tips I could share about how to go from a stifling career to a life defined by passion. Whether a new blogger, looking to leave their job or hoping to find ways to balance work and travel, my workshop aimed to give each listener advice on how to make travel a bigger part of their reality.
The presentation went well and I am floored by the overwhelming positive response I have been receiving on social media and via e-mail from attendees. For those who were unable to come to the Women’s Workshop event, below you can find a 20 minute video of highlights from the talk as well as a full audio track of the workshop to help you ditch your 9 to 5!
