Welcome to Butterfly Journeys: Midlife Adventures
This podcast is about courage and reinvention in midlife, told through the power of travel. I believe travel is the most powerful tool for transformation — it helps us awaken, emerge, journey, and evolve.
In this short trailer, I share my philosophy, The Midlife Butterfly Effect™, and why midlife isn’t the end, in fact it is the beginning of your best chapter yet!
The Journey of Self-Discovery
What happens when you trade a successful law career in the Netherlands for a life of freedom, nature, and sisterhood in Spain?
In this inspiring conversation, Gwen shares how she followed her intuition, moved her family to the Spanish countryside, and eventually launched Chica Travel, a boutique travel company for women in midlife.
We talk about:
✨The courage to embrace uncertainty
✨Building soul-sister connections abroad
✨How travel fuels reinvention in midlife
✨Advice for women ready to take their own leap
Whether you’re dreaming of moving abroad, starting over, or simply craving more “me time,” this episode will remind you that it’s never too late to reinvent your life.
