Missy the Traveler
I am the host of the You Make It Happen Podcast, about trauma, travel, and how those two go together. I believe that through solo travel anyone can be capable of healing trauma. Solo travel can teach us better shame resilience, self-love, self-respect, autonomy, identity, and about our own core values, not just about other cultures and ways of living. I am just an ordinary person, not a mental health professional, in the trenches with you, doing the hard work of healing, sharing my path and what really helped me with going from anxious to earned secure attachment along the way. I've spent over 6 years in therapy as well as doing a lot of work on myself outside of therapy. I believe in a holistic approach to healing, and that although therapy is invaluable, it's not all there is to healing and self-improvement. Growth mindset is a must and doing the work takes dedication, perseverance, determination, and a good support network to help you while you are doing that hard work.
