Did you know the word yoga is derived from the Sanskrit word meaning to join, unite, connect? My guest today, Catherine Gallagher, shares how it’s ALL yoga — especially when we’re traveling.

Catherine is an Award Winning spiritual business owner specialising in transformational yoga (+ surf!) retreats, spiritual business mentorship and training yoga teachers. Catherine is an extremely experienced yoga teacher who hosts retreats globally through her brand “The Empower Method”. Through asanas and heart-opening meditations, Catherine’s classes focus on self-love, peace and compassion. Catherine is also a keen surfer, dedicated foodie and loves anything that allows her to live most of her life outdoors!

In this episode we talk about: 

• Catherine following the signs to leave behind her corporate gig and become a full-time yoga instructor
• Simple ways to energetically connect to a new place through the body
• Everyday rituals to honor and co-create with the land and sea wherever we are
• The one yoga pose all travelers should have under their belt
• Seeking out the magic and the divine in this human experience, near and far
• Catherine’s top tips for first time solo travelers
• PLUS a very special discount for There She Goes listeners 

In all she does, Catherine leads with intention and care -- for others, for our natural world and for herself. I sincerely admire her the business and lifestyle she’s crafted and I have no doubt you will feel the same after this conversation.

Today I am joined by the most delightful Susie Emilie: sound healer, inner voice facilitator, digital nomad, spiritual seeker, cat lover and so much more! 

Susie and I first connected through inner voice facilitator training and I really enjoyed hearing more of her story during this interview. Hailing from Munich, Germany, Susie has been a traveler most of her life and after a couple rounds of corporate burnout she took the leap to become a full time digital nomad back in 2017, spending part of her time abroad and part of the time in a camper van. 

Earlier this year, she traveled from Germany to Mexico and onwards to the US so you’ll want to tune in for her tips on international travel today!

We also cover: 
- The first step to turn your nomadic dreams into reality
- The unspoken truth of long term travelers
- Susie’s spiritual quest and how it led her around the world and then straight back home
- The stranger she met in Mexico that led to a huge realization 
- Her winning strategy for sailing through immigration and customs
- The reality of travel fatigue and overcoming post-covid travel fears

You’re in for a treat today! Tune in for a delightful conversation with my friend and kindred spirit, Mairéad Kennedy. Originally from the US, Mairéad is a lifelong traveler who has spent the last three years living throughout the British Isles and beyond as a digital nomad and house sitter! Mairéad and I are both nomadic souls who make most decisions - travel and otherwise - using our inner voices.

What’s an inner voice? Maybe you’ve called it intuition, heart, higher self — it’s that peaceful voice inside that reminds us who we are, why we’re here and what is best for us in any given moment. It’s so much deeper and truer than the nonstop worries that distract our mind. Mairead and I are both trained inner voice facilitators, helping you go deep to access the well of peace, love and wisdom within you.

The inner voice is so beautifully connected to travel, especially solo travel. They both build upon the other — the more you listen inward, the easier it is to travel - and the more you travel, the stronger your connection to your inner voice. So press play to hear all about how Mairéad and I turn inward in order to create our outer realities, bringing more joy, fulfillment, adventure and surprise than our minds could have imagined.
