Many of us have felt it. That sick feeling that seeps into your stomach. You anxiously wonder if your alarm clock will wake you up in time to catch that early morning flight. Or you feel intense anxiety about whether you’ll be safe exploring a new city on your own. How do we manage anxiety and mental health when we’re abroad?



We’re digging into the relationship between travel and mental health with Talia Singer, a registered psychotherapist and host of The WhateverWorks Podcast. Erin and Talia cover how to cope with stressful travel situations, how to manage expectations and disappointment, how to create a stress relief tool kit, and more. Plus, they share many of their personal experiences with mental health and travel!
