Welcome to the Revitalized Womanhood podcast. Today, I’m hanging out with the amazing Kat Medina, author of The Joys of Jet Lag—and trust me, her story is one you need to hear.
We’re talking about all the things: what it’s like to live abroad, how she juggled writing a book while being a mom (superwoman vibes, right?), and how to sprinkle a little travel magic into your everyday life.
Kat gets real about overcoming self-criticism, finding joy, and living authentically whether you’re at home or halfway across the globe. So grab your coffee, tea, or whatever fuels your soul, and let’s dive into this inspiring convo.
Spoiler: you’re going to walk away with some seriously practical tips for living life with more wonder and mindfulness. Don’t miss it!
