This week on The Conscious Consultant Hour, I invite you to journey with me into the heart of China, to the capital of Beijing. Returning after 15 years, I experienced the city this time not as a tourist, but as a traveler living like a local. From winding hutongs hidden behind ancient gates to night markets glowing with lantern light, every moment was a reminder of how foreign and familiar can exist side by side.
Beijing is a place where contrasts live in harmony with the timeless quiet of temples tucked between towering glass skyscrapers, the aroma of food everywhere mingling with the hum of electric scooters. Walking its streets again, I felt a deep change from the swarms of bicycles in the past, to a truly modern city with massive buildings. These experiences stirred something within me, an awareness of how travel dissolves our boundaries and invites us to see with new eyes. Of how people are people, no matter where they reside.
And yet, beneath the wonder of discovery, there was also the gentle ache of missing home. That longing became its own lesson. While we may seek adventure in faraway lands, what truly transforms us is the way those journeys help us return more fully to ourselves.
In this episode, I’ll share the beauty, surprises, and soulful connections that only come from stepping into an unfamiliar world and letting it change you.
Tune in and share your own thoughts and feelings about how travel changes you on our YouTube livestream or on our Facebook page.
