Soul of Travel: Women's Wisdom and Mindful Travel

In this episode of Soul of Travel, Season 5: Women's Wisdom + Mindful Travel, presented by @journeywoman_original, Christine hosts a soulful conversation with Maria Baltazzi.

Happiness explorer and travel designer Maria Baltazzi is an Emmy-winning veteran television producer and wellbeing teacher whose extraordinary life has taken her to every corner of the globe. Her remarkable journey across all seven continents, walking over 8,500 miles for charity, summiting Kilimanjaro twice, and trekking to Everest Base camp in search of her own road to happiness, is a testament to her commitment to making a positive impact. With a Ph.D. in Conscious-Centered Living and an MFA in film, Maria is well-equipped to inspire others to embark on their epic treks toward happiness. Maria also offers script consulting services through Stage 32, the premiere writer’s platform with over a million members and going. You can choose to attend Sojourn Wholebeing classes, experience transformative adventures with Sojourn Explorers, or delve into Maria's insightful award-winning book, "Take A Shot at Happiness: How to Write, Direct & Produce the Life You Want,” which, accompanied by an interactive app, offers practical, creative, and inspiring ways to embrace conscious living.

Christine and Maria discuss:

· The inspiration for Maria’s book and how it surfaced during her time as a TV producer
· The intersection between wellbeing and travel
· How we can understand happiness as a state of being and not a destination
· How Maria’s book helps readers develop their own relationship with happiness
