In this episode of Big Shift Energy, Amanda and Kelly dive into the real talk behind travel prep—from morning rituals to managing stress, decision fatigue, and communication on the go. They unpack (literally and figuratively) what it means to travel light—not just in luggage but in mindset. With an upcoming trip on the horizon, they explore how conflict resolution, decisive action, and emotional awareness can shape more expansive, ease-filled experiences. It’s not just about getting there—it’s about how you grow along the way.
