“Can you remember who you were before the world told you who you should be?” That’s a doozy of a question isn’t it??  How do you even begin to answer something like that?

Well, it’s the first question we both read in the book “Reflecting and Journaling Towards a Meaningful Life”; a book written by this week’s podcast guest, Counseling Psychologist, Brenda Roach.

It’s also the first question we ask Brenda herself at the start of Season 2 Episode 9 and her answer transported all of us back to our childhoods.

Can YOU remember who you were before the world told you who you should be?

Jessica Blotter is on a mission to change the world through the power of responsible tourism.

A chance encounter on a trip to Belize sparked the flames of what would eventually become “Kind Traveler”; an online initiative that empowers travelers to positively impact the communities they visit through their signature Give + Get hotel booking platform.

In this week’s episode of the “ Conscious Folk” podcast, Jessica speaks enthusiastically about the origins of “Kind Traveler” and the importance of leaving a lasting, positive impact on the places travelers most love to visit. 

This week’s guest, Dr. Ysanne Marville, originally thought she was going to be a dentist. Unsurprisingly, life had other plans and today she’s embraced her passion as a Senior Educational Psychologist.

Her inspiration for a career pivot (at the tender age of 17 no less), came in the form of her younger brother who had been experiencing learning differences at school.

Find out more about what exactly IS an Educational Psychologist and just how Ysanne is helping young kids (like her brother) to reach their full learning potential.
