Travelling solo in South America, parenting and truly being open with Amy Vespa
When asked 'what do you want to do when you grow up,' 10-year-old Amy knew that all she wanted to do was travel. She loved the thought of different cultures, learning new languages, and nature adventures that were worlds away from her New York City suburb home. Amy spent years travelling abroad and, most recently, all over the USA.
As a Holistic Health Coach and nutritionist, Amy has combined her love of nutrition with her love of travel and helps women feel great and love life while also continuously exploring. Amy now has a co-explorer, her 6.5 year-old daughter, who has also caught the travel bug!

Opening to expansion and what is unknown.
Today I'm going to be talking more about the mindset shift from last week's guest Kristy Gray. We talked about how travels and adventures are really an opportunity for us to expand and grow. What it's really doing, is allowing us to open to and expand into what is unknown to us.
It so easy to get lost in your own world, yet being open to travel and adventure can really help you to expand.
“I believe that to expand you or someone else has to put yourself in a situation where you are challenged.”
In the episode...
How we expand through travels and adventures.
The balloon analogy of expansion and how it relates to how we expand.
Situations that will cause you to expand.
Expanding through my Olympic quest with the Australian Bobsleigh Team.
Expanding in an attempt to sea kayak across Bass Strait.
How you can use an expanded mindset in your day to day life.
“Expanding requires a lot of mental strength and resilience as you are always being challenged.”
