Today's episode will inspire you to go on journeys with deeper intention—where exploring new places means discovering more about yourself along the way.

Welcome back to Stretch Street Podcast!

Today's guest is someone who's redefining what travel can be. She's a retreat host and travel designer with a unique passion for creating meaningful, transformative experiences. Her company, WONDERING ROOTS, helps people truly check in with themselves while stepping away from the daily grind.

Anna VanAgtmael is the founder of Wandering Roots. She hosts adventure retreats for women all over the world and helps entrepreneurs plan and host their profitable retreats.

Two key takeaways from this episode are;

• When things go south, don't dwell there, learn the lesson and move on because the difference between those who progress and those who don't is that those who do keep moving after setbacks.

• The magic is in the pause. You don't have to go on vacation to refresh, but you can intentionally create the pause you need to avoid burnout.
