Today’s guest is someone who truly redefines what

Today’s guest is someone who truly redefines what it means to travel with purpose. I was so inspired learning about the work Kimberly Haley-Coleman is doing through Globe Aware, creating opportunities for everyday people to step beyond traditional tourism and step into meaningful global service. Her journey started with a simple desire to give back while traveling — and it grew into a worldwide nonprofit connecting volunteers with communities across the globe.

Through short-term, structured volunteer programs, Kimberly and her team make it possible for individuals, families, and even corporate groups to work alongside local communities on impactful projects — from improving housing conditions to supporting food security and accessibility initiatives. What I love most about her approach is that it’s not just about the work being done — it’s about cultural connection, mutual learning, and the kind of perspective that stays with you long after you come home.

I can’t wait for you to hear how this model of service travel is changing lives on both sides of the experience, and why so many people come back from these trips feeling more connected, more grateful, and more inspired to make a difference in their own communities, too.

Today’s guest is someone very special to me — my l

Today’s guest is someone very special to me — my longtime friend, Jeanine Davis. We met years ago through our businesses and a shared love of learning, creating, and doing things a little differently. Over the years, I’ve had a front-row seat to Jeanine’s journey from busy Long Island life to a more nature-centered life in Pennsylvania, and through it all, one thing has always stayed the same: her deep curiosity about plants, wellness, and making things from scratch.

Jeanine is one of those people who doesn’t just read about herbal remedies — she grows them, forages them, studies them, and then somehow turns them into teas, oils, salves, and even beautiful botanical art. Whether we’re wandering a farmers market, cooking in her kitchen, or walking through her garden identifying “weeds” that are actually powerful plants, I’m always learning something new from her. She has a gift for making herbal knowledge feel approachable, practical, and a little bit magical.

In this conversation, we talk about how her personal health experiences sparked her interest in natural living, how moving to the Poconos gave her space to deepen that path, and how she’s now sharing what she’s learned through community workshops and classes for the “herbal curious.” I’m so excited for you to meet my friend Jeanine and explore the world of everyday herbal wisdom together.
