This week’s episode of The Motherhood Village podcast features holistic health coach and travel enthusiast, Kelly Tolliday. Kelly shares her personal journey from competitive swimmer to yoga and mindfulness coach, and her passion for global travel. She talks about ways parents can maintain emotional regulation through breathwork, and the importance of incorporating mindfulness into our daily routines especially as mothers. 

We also discussed how travel can serve as a life-enriching and character-building experience for our kids, and the impact it has on shaping the world around them, as well as insightful travel ‘mom hacks’ to make traveling a little bit easier with little ones.  

The discussion extends to Kelly’s approach in designing her Rising Nature Retreats - a comprehensive wellness travel experience.
