In this first half of our conversation, we talk about:
- What it means to live boldly in different seasons of life
- Where Heather’s passion for travel came from
- The difference between traveling and vacationing
- Her top three favorite places so far
- A few hilarious stories from her travels
- And a whole lot of laughter, encouragement, and permission to live boldly
Heather is a natural storyteller with a heart for adventure and a ton of wisdom to share—and we laughed a lot in this one.
