Do you ever feel limited by society’s expectations surrounding travel?  When today’s guest, Beth Santos, started a travel blog, her goal was to challenge norms by exploring the diverse and shared experiences of women traveling the world. It has since morphed into Wanderful, an international community and social network with over 40,000 active members composed of women and nonbinary people of all ages and backgrounds. Aside from this booming online community, Beth has also created WITS Travel Creator + Brand Summit, the Bessie Awards, and the first-ever outdoor women’s festival (taking place in New Orleans in March 2022). This week's episode is filled with the wisdom and stories one can only acquire as a world traveler, serial entrepreneur, mother, and community builder. Tune in to learn what it means to be a good leader, how to create a safe and empowering community, why exploring your heritage can uncover unexpected roads and so much more.  Make sure you don't miss out on a once-in-a-lifetime experience and enter to win your ticket to Wanderfest before February 18th, 2022. What are some ways you can create a safe space for others? I'd love to hear some of your ideas and hope you will share by sending me an audio message.
