Rediscovering the World and Ourselves with Ashley N. Company

In this episode, we had the pleasure of speaking with Ashley N. Company- the founder of Jelani Travel, who shared her insights and experiences on how travel can be a catalyst for personal development and wellness. Here are three key takeaways from this enlightening conversation:

1️⃣ Stepping Out of Our Comfort Zones: Ashley  emphasized the importance of getting out of our everyday routines and comfort zones. Travel allows us to explore new spaces, cultures, and perspectives, which can lead to personal growth and self-discovery. By pushing ourselves to try new things and embrace unfamiliar experiences, we open ourselves up to endless possibilities for growth and expansion.

2️⃣ Travel as a Path to Creativity: One of the most fascinating points that she made was the connection between travel and creativity. They shared a story of a marketing executive who attends their trips annually and consistently returns feeling more creative and rejuvenated in her work. Travel has the power to inspire fresh ideas, ignite our imagination, and enhance our productivity. It serves as a powerful tool for professionals in any field to tap into their creative potential and bring a renewed energy to their work.

3️⃣ Travel as Radical Self-Care: Ashley also highlighted the often overlooked aspect of travel as a form of radical self-care. While we often prioritize physical well-being through activities like exercise and spa days, travel offers a unique opportunity for holistic self-care. It allows us to nourish our souls, expand our perspectives, and engage in inner child work. By stepping outside of our comfort zones and immersing ourselves in new environments, we create space for healing, self-reflection, and personal transformation.

As we navigate our busy lives, it’s essential to remember the profound impact that travel can have on our well-being and personal growth. Whether it’s exploring new cultures, challenging ourselves to try new activities, or simply taking a break from our daily routines, travel offers us a chance to reconnect with ourselves and the world around us.

Let’s reimagine our relationship with the world and embrace the growth opportunities that await us.
