Freedom Looks Like This – solo travel back to yourself
Freedom Looks Like This is a podcast for women over 40 who feel restless, disconnected, or tired of waiting for the “right time” to start living differently.
Hosted by Damianne President, the show explores intentional solo travel as a way to rebuild self-trust, stop waiting for permission, and create a life that actually feels like yours again.
Solo travel is just where the story starts. What this show really explores is what happens when women stop waiting, take themselves seriously, and begin making decisions for themselves, without over-explaining or asking for approval.
Episodes dive into topics like:
- solo travel for women over 40
- fear, self-doubt, and the hesitation to go alone
- learning to trust yourself again
- identity shifts in midlife
- choosing what you want and acting on it
Whether you’re planning your first solo trip or simply craving more freedom in your everyday life, Freedom Looks Like This offers real conversations and relateable reframes to help you move forward, whether at home or on the road.

How to Choose Your First (or Next) Solo Travel Destination
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Choosing where to go for your first (or next) solo trip can be the biggest sticking point for women. It is not because the world is too big or because you do not have enough information. Something else is happening underneath the surface, and it is the real reason so many women get stuck before they ever book a flight.
In this episode, I talk about the deeper forces that make destination choice feel heavy, even when part of you is excited. I also share a simple approach I use in my own life that takes you out of overthinking and into a place where things finally feel doable again.
I tell a few stories from my early travel years, including what helped me navigate a brand new country where I did not know the language, and why another destination felt almost effortless even though I got lost constantly.
At the heart of this episode is something I wish every woman over 40 knew about choosing a destination. It is not about finding the perfect place. When you understand what that actually means, the decision becomes much easier.
If you have been circling the idea of a trip and keep getting stuck on the question of where to go, this episode will help you see the decision in a completely different light. You might even walk away with three destinations in mind before you finish listening.
