Episode 6: Permission granted: how I took the trip of a lifetime after cancer

Featuring Joanna Jepsen

Joanna Jepsen shares how her trip to Puglia, Italy with Olegana Travel Boutique (also known as ‘the Sisterhood of the Travelling Focaccias’) was a once-in-a-lifetime, transformative experience.

In this episode, Joanna Jepsen and I talked about giving yourself permission to take a trip of a lifetime after getting a cancer diagnosis. We discussed that even though it may feel like the world is crashing down, it’s so important to keep a positive attitude and outlook on life, and how this trip was the best kind of medicine she could have given herself at that moment.

We chatted about the amazing group of women who were strangers at first and became friends during this trip - enjoying each others’ company, uplifting one another, cooking together, and sharing laughter as the best medicine.
