The Deeply Healing Power of Travel with Breanne Kiefner

Soul of Travel: Women's Wisdom and Mindful Travel

In this episode of Soul of Travel, Season 5: Women's Wisdom + Mindful Travel, presented by @journeywoman_original, Christine hosts a soulful conversation with Breanne Kiefner.

Utilizing her decades of experience in the adventure travel and hospitality businesses, Breanne sought to create something fundamentally different. Her company, Root Adventures, has continued to evolve in line with Breanne’s own mental health journey. The recent travel pause provided the space for her to redefine the company with all that she learned along her own personal journey. Her history of PTSD, Dyslexia, and Depression continues to define her vision and leadership style as company CEO as she infuses vulnerability through all aspects of the company. Now with over two decades of experience in the industry, she is confident that this work is exactly what has been missing from adventure travel.

Christine and Breanne discuss:

· How important her mental health journey has been to shaping Root Adventures
· How her vulnerability has shaped the trips she offers and her company’s culture
· Determining brand values and intentionally attracting aligned clients
· How sustainability is built into Root Adventures and her unique approach
