Think about your most memorable travel experience. What did you see, hear, touch, smell? What about this particular experience made it memorable for you? What expectations, if any, did you set for your trip and how did you strive to meet them? What we gain, or hope to gain, from travel differs from person to person, and that’s okay; however, it’s important to recognize travel for what it is: a privilege and an opportunity. It’s more than just a means to escape our everyday lives, it’s a chance to lean into personal transformation and be wholly present whilst experiencing something completely new to you.

In today's episode, I’m honored to be joined by Dr. Helena Zhang, a professor and clinical supervisor at colleges of Chinese Medicine in California. Dr. Helena and I discuss learning how to belong through the lens of travel. Dr. Helena breaks down the importance of treating travel as an experience, not an escape, as well as a way to transform and grow.

Tune in and listen to the forty-first episode of I Can Do This, Show Me How! to find inspiration and guidance to get the most out of your next travel adventure.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

• What started Dr. Helena’s journey in Chinese medicine (6:46)
• What propelled Dr. Helena to delve deeper into, and expand her knowledge of, traditional Chinese medicine (13:53)

• What Dr. Helena feels when she reflects on her lived experience (31:40)
• About the latest trip Dr. Helena is planning, how she’ll help those who join her to prepare, and what she hopes travellers will gain from the experience (37:52)

Have you ever asked a question that you were scared to know the answer to? If so, you’re not alone. For a lot of us, exercising curiosity can sometimes feel like playing with fire. Answers to the biggest, most important questions we’ll ever ask have the power to completely change our lives. And although that may seem daunting, it’s important to understand that asking these questions is an exercise of strength, resilience, and learning. Even if we don’t like the answer, there’s still power in asking the question.

In today's episode, the first of a series, I explore the power that comes with asking questions. The path to finding the answer to a long-burning question can be viewed as a journey of sorts. And today’s guest, here to walk me through their own personal question journey, is my very own sister, Sandy Rose. Sandy tells the story of the big question she asked, walking me through from when she first asked it, at 9 years old, to when she finally got her answer years later. It’s a journey unique to Sandy Rose but, at the same time, it’s surely one that many listeners can either draw inspiration from, or find their own meaningful parallels in.

Tune in and listen to the thirty-ninth episode of I Can Do This, Show Me How! to find your own power in the questions you ask.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

• What question prompted Sandy Rose to start looking for her long-lost relatives (5:27)
• Who Sandy Rose relied on to answer her questions about these relatives (7:44)
• What Sandy Rose learned about herself that surprised her during her search (10:21)
• What kept Sandy Rose moving forward during her search (12:21)
• Why Sandy Rose’s search was so important to her (16:54)
• Sandy Rose’s advice to anyone listening who has a nagging question that they may feel too afraid to answer (18:36)
