Dancing in the Discomfort Zone with Anne Bonney

Let's face it, life is uncomfortable. Whether it's interacting with other humans (or trying to), going after our goals and improving our lives, or understanding other people's perspectives, preferences and proclivities, being able to face the discomforts in life with courage, compassion, confidence and resilience will make life a lot more enjoyable! So join me as we DANCE IN THE DISCOMFORT ZONE! We'll explore new ideas, learn how to build our confidence, courage and resilience, and laugh a little too, because life is serious enough. We need a little cha cha, and a little ha ha every once in a while! Welcome to the Discomfort Zone with Anne Bonney!

Elaine Rodriguez on International Travel and Following Your Calling

May 06, 2024 • Anne Bonney • Season 12 • Episode 282

Travel! If you know me, you know I love doing it, and will get any chance I get to extoll the benefits. (I’m even writing a TED talk about it…but that’s for another episode!) But why should I extoll the benefits when I can get someone else to do it, so this week I welcome Elaine Rodriguez (www.elainerodriguez.com) to talk abouther experience with travel and how she made it into a career!

We talk about

Her first travel experience
How the discomfort of being laid off from her job prompted a massive positive life change
How she became a traveling international tour guide! (who knew that was a job! I didn’t, otherwise I would have been one 25 years ago!)
How she has turned it into her current career
