Summary
In this episode, Angela interviews Alyssa Nogaski, certified travel coach and founder of Solo Girl Wanders, about how women can overcome fear and finally start solo travel. They discuss the most common fears that hold women back, including safety concerns, decision fatigue, and the belief that you need to wait for the “perfect” time to travel. Alyssa explains why that perfect moment often never comes, and how small, intentional steps can help you move forward anyway. You’ll learn how to gently challenge fear by starting small, like dining alone or taking day trips, and how these experiences help build confidence over time. Alyssa also shares how the brain can rewire through new experiences, making solo travel feel more natural and less intimidating. If you’ve been thinking about traveling alone but feel stuck or unsure, this episode will help you take that first step with more clarity and confidence. 🎙️ In this episode we talked about: Common fears that hold women back from solo travel Why waiting for the “perfect time” keeps you stuck How to take small, manageable steps toward solo travel Simple ways to practice independence before a full trip Safety concerns and how to approach them realistically How confidence builds through experience Rewiring your mindset through new travel experiences Why solo travel is about personal growth, not perfection 🎙️ Connect with Alyssa Nogaski: - Website: www.sologirlwanders.com - Facebook and Instagram : @SoloGirlWanders 🎧 Enjoyed this episode?
