  • Gabi Robledo: Living Life "Off-Script" & Being the Hero of Your Story with Gabi (Mindset Coach, World Traveler, Surfer, Climber, Adventurer, & Entrepreneur!)
    Mar 21 2023

    Welcome to Season 2/Episode 5 of Smart As A Cookie: The Podcast, presented by USA Girl Scouts Overseas in partnership with Pop Singer/Songwriter Kristina Lachaga! And...we have a very adventurous & inspiring Special Guest for you to meet! Meet Gabi Robledo: Mindset Coach, Full-Time World Traveler, Surfer, Climber, Adventurer, & Entrepreneur!


    When Gabi was 14 her life totally changed when her parents made the bold decision to sell everything they owned in their house, ditch conformity, and move into an RV...to go travel the world! Gabi went from playing soccer & being a gymnast while living a "normal" suburban life in California to taking on the world in an RV with her entire family and following adventure and their souls' purposes wherever it took them. They were in search of rocks to climb, waves to surf, and peaks to hike.

    These adventures have brought Gabi and her family to 26 countries around the world and 15+ states and even helped Gabi debut as a TEDx Speaker this year.

    Get inspired by Gabi's life adventure and learn how to be the hero of your own story, embrace others' strength (and weaknesses!) to create a successful & thriving teamwork environment, and live life "off-script!"


    Get to know Gabi!

    - Gabi Robledo is a 19 year old entrepreneur and full-time nomad (a person who does not stay long in the same place; a wanderer!!)

    - She began pursuing her dream of becoming an entrepreneur when at 16, she and her mom launched an adventure travel blog, nomadswithpurpose.com

    - Gabi now runs 3 different businesses and has been featured in HuffPost! (So cool!) 

    - She firmly believes that you don't have to follow the script and you can be more than people say you can be! 

    - Gabi is excited to help Girl Scouts reach for the stars during an exclusive interview at our Cookie Rally!


    Keep up with Gabi's adventures on her Website and Instagram!

At 8 years old, Lily used her Dad's 3D printer to create a busy business of her very own and in her first 3 months of business she sold over 1000 pairs of 3D printed earring (now that's a total goal-getter!).

    Lily has such an amazing personality and energy and it was so much fun talking with her over Zoom for our interview!


    Get to know our fab entrepreneur, Lily!

    - Lily sells her earrings in local shops in North Carolina and in her online store. For every pair of earrings sold in these shops, she donates a dollar to a local women's shelter! (Love this!!)

    - Lily is a brand-new Girl Scouts (catch her wearing her Junior vest to her Troop meetings!)

    - Lily loves being homeschooled and learning new things every day!
