Welcome to Let’s Get Real: A To Be Explored Podcast
Real Talk. Real Travels. Healing the Mind, One Episode at a Time.
Hi, I’m Kate, and if there’s one thing I’ve learned, it’s that travel and mental health are deeply connected. My journey hasn’t been picture-perfect—far from it. I’ve struggled with anxiety and depression for much of my life, but I’ve found solace, growth, and healing through exploring new places. Let’s Get Real is my way of sharing those experiences, not just the beautiful landscapes and exciting adventures, but the messy, raw, and real moments that come with traveling while navigating mental health challenges.
This podcast is a safe space for open conversations about travel, personal growth, and mental health—because we all deserve to explore the world and take care of ourselves along the way.
What to Expect:
-
Raw and Honest Conversations: I’m not afraid to get real. I’ll share my personal stories, including the times when travel didn’t go according to plan, and how I managed anxiety, stress, and perfectionism on the road.
-
Travel Adventures with a Twist: From navigating Iceland’s Ring Road to taking spontaneous trips that pushed me outside my comfort zone, I’ll take you behind the scenes of my journeys and the lessons I’ve learned along the way.
-
Expert Guests: I’ll be joined by fellow travelers, mental health advocates, and friends who understand what it’s like to travel while managing mental health challenges.
-
Practical Tips: Whether it’s grounding techniques I use to manage anxiety while traveling, or self-care travel checklists, I’ll be sharing the tools that help me stay grounded, present, and open to adventure.
Why This Podcast?
Let’s Get Real is more than just a travel podcast. It’s an honest exploration of how travel has shaped my mental health journey. I know what it’s like to feel overwhelmed by the pressure to always be “on” or to struggle with mental health while wanting to see the world. My hope is that by sharing my story, you’ll feel less alone in your own experiences—whether you’re seeking healing, adventure, or both.
