I HONESTLY COULD SEE MYSELF LIVING HERE FOREVER…
Hello from our new chateau home for the night - if you want to see where Linda and I are slumming it this evening ;) check out tonight’s IG post… Sometimes I honestly pinch myself that this is my job…
Since we’ve been in the Loire Valley, I’ve absolutely fallen in love with this region of France. Similar to London and the Cotswolds - I feel as if many American tourists myopically focus on Paris when they visit France and neglect to consider visiting other charming parts of the country. Which is a HUGE tragedy because the Loire Valley (and many other regions) is just such a perfect complement to the hustle and bustle of Paris.
This is one of the major reasons I want to include the Loire Valley in my mother-daughter group trip to France next year (click here if you want to know more details when it launches).
If you’re unfamiliar, the Loire Valley is one of France’s famous wine regions and also the place where you will find the largest concentration of chateaux in the world (seriously there’s some 300 along a 175 mile stretch along the Loire River). If you want to feel as if you’ve stepped back in time to see how fabulously the French aristocracy lived centuries ago, this is where you need to go. Oh, and the wine is fantastic as well.
This trip has been massively important as I plan my first ever group trip & all I keep saying to myself is “I CAN’T WAIT TO PLAN THIS FOR MY GALS!” - so if you want to get a little sneak peek at what’s in store for you if you join us next year, make sure you’re keeping your eyes on my stories!

CURRENTLY OBSESSING OVER
GO TO TRAVEL HAT: I got a lot of questions about my hats on this trip so I figured I’d share. It’s pretty simple - I NEVER travel without a hat and my go-to is usually the Lack of Color rancher and/or the Lack of Color Rivera Cap (I linked these on Amazon to save you the $30 shipping if you buy direct from Lack of Color in OZ)
CURRENTLY LISTENING TO: The Glo Show’s recent episode about how to prep for a speech/talk / public speaking. I’m gearing up to speak at the ASTA Global Convention next week as their in-house “Chief Fun Officer” and it will be the first time I’m on a big stage in front of hundreds of people in maybe 2 years…So I’m a bit rusty and I figured any tips from Queen Glo (who just recently shared the stage with Tony Robins) couldn’t hurt. Plus her podcast is EPIC and jam-packed with loads of useful info for biz owners and high achievers.
CURRENTLY IN MY CART
THANK YOU FOR 1K!!
Almost exactly a year ago today I re-launched my Youtube Channel. I had ZERO expectations or even a clue as to what I was doing. I only knew that I wanted to talk about travel & share any tips that might be useful to you as the world tried to wrap its mind around a global pandemic and it was truly unclear when we would be able to safely travel again.
I opened my youtube the other day to respond to a comment (which honestly I neglect often…) and I was shocked to see that I had hit 1K subscribers !! One of my goals when I started creating videos last year was to hit 1K a year after I re-launched and to see that I achieved that is A HUGE WIN for me.
To all of you that have watched, commented, shared, liked, and HOPEFULLY found value in these videos, I am truly grateful. You would be blown away to know the amount of time and effort it takes to create these videos and knowing that they are providing you value makes it all worth it.
I just got the most incredible email the other day for a travel opportunity that I can’t wait to share and the only reason this person found me was from my Youtube - SO I share this so say that if there’s something you’ve wanted to start, launch or create - DO IT. It’s not too late to start and it’s important to get your reps in now before there’s an audience, before the stakes are high so that when your people show up (which they will) you’ll be ready because you’ve already put in the time and the effort before anyone was watching.
Here’s a throwback to the video I re-launched my channel with last summer (lolz)
HAPPY ENDING (AKA SOMETHING I FOUND FUNNY THIS WEEK)
I don’t want to watch anyone make guacamole any other way after watching this…hahahhahah
