Transforming Anxiety into Adventure: A Spiritual Nomad’s Guide to Finding Inner Peace with Guest Monique Giroux

Solo Travel Adventures: Safe Travel for Women, Preparing for a Trip, Overcoming Fear, Travel Tips

What if you could transform a rigid, anxiety-filled life into one of peace and spontaneity? Join us as we sit down with Monique Giroux, a former corporate executive who left behind the financial world to embrace the life of a spiritual nomad. Monique's journey began with a life-changing retreat in Bali and led her to adopt practices like yoga, meditation, and forest therapy. During our conversation, she opens up about her transition to minimalism, the disciplines that have nurtured her inner calm, and her mission to guide others towards nature connection and energy healing.
Monique takes us through her adventures and misadventures, sharing the highs and lows of solo travel. Imagine meticulously planning your travels with spreadsheets, only to find yourself with a broken leg in Croatia! We discuss how Monique adapted to these unexpected turns and the value of balancing well-planned milestones with spontaneous detours. You'll hear about her enriching experiences with new friendships in Portugal, managing travel anxiety, and learning to follow life's serendipitous path.
Finally, we explore the profound practice of forest therapy, a mindful engagement with nature that originated in Japan. Monique shares the emotional and grounding experiences she's had through this practice, including the creation of gratitude mandalas and connecting with forest guides worldwide. This episode is an invitation to embark on your own journey of self-discovery and nature connection, inspired by Monique's story and her new book, "Lost Intentionally: The Inner and Outer Journey of a Spiritual Nomad." Tune in and let Monique's journey guide you towards your path of inner peace and adventure.
