What if the best investment you could make isn't in things—but in experiences?
So many of us dream about traveling "someday." Someday when life slows down. Someday when the kids are older. Someday when retirement finally arrives.
But what if someday is today?
In this episode of Smart Women Talk, Katana Abbott sits down with storyteller and worldschooling advocate Lauren Ferrara to explore how one family's decision to spend a month each year living abroad transformed the way they travel, parent, and experience life.
You'll discover:
* Why meaningful travel is about connection—not checking destinations off a list
* How cultural immersion helps children (and adults) see the world differently
* Why experiences often create stronger family bonds than material things
* How travel can strengthen relationships and shift your perspective on what really matters
* Simple ways to begin your own adventure—without waiting for retirement
You don't have to sell everything you own or travel the world for years.
Sometimes all it takes is deciding that "someday" starts now.
Tune in and discover why the best time to create meaningful memories may be sooner than you think.
Lauren Ferrara is a storyteller, former television news anchor, and founder of Why Wait Stories, a documentary film company dedicated to preserving family histories through beautifully crafted legacy films. After nearly 15 years in broadcast journalism, Lauren shifted her focus from reporting the news to capturing the stories that matter most—helping families preserve their memories and connect across generations.
Lauren and her husband are raising two daughters in Colorado Springs, Colorado, where they have embraced worldschooling as a way to learn beyond the classroom. Each year, the family spends a month living and learning abroad, immersing themselves in local cultures, languages, and communities. From Guatemala to Peru, their travels have reinforced Lauren's belief that some of life's greatest lessons come from curiosity, stepping outside your comfort zone, and seeing the world through someone else's eyes.

Become Empowered in Your Health Care Choices with Susan Salenger
Join Susan and Katana as they discuss:
* Tips for managing your health.
* Ways to become better informed about your health.
* How to become your own healthcare advocate.
Susan Salenger is the author and researcher behind Sidelined, How Women Manage & Mismanage Their Health. Sidelined examines the many ways in which some women manage and sometimes mismanage their healthcare. (Release date, April, 2022)
Susan explores how women, typically the medical gatekeepers for their families, tend to be extremely conscientious about taking care of themselves, yet at the same time inadvertently undermine their own care. They often hesitate to call the doctor when they don’t feel well and worry that their doctor visit will take time away from their families or work. They may hesitate to ask doctors the necessary questions and don’t always comply with the doctor’s instructions. Her research reveals how conflicted many women are about the medical decisions they ultimately make.
Born and raised in Los Angeles, Susan attended UCLA to study English. After graduation, she worked alongside her husband Fred for 25 years at their production company, Salenger Films, which produced corporate training and development films distributed worldwide. Today, at age 80, Susan lives in Northern California to be near her incredible family which includes her two daughters, four grandchildren, a cat named Max and a dog named JD (Salenger). When she is not speaking about her book or spending time with family and friends, you will find Susan power lifting to stay in shape.

Chantal attended nine different schools by the end of high school, so from an early age, she had to learn not to get too attached to her things. Because her family moved so many times, it was just easier to have less. Although she loves beautiful things, those experiences made her realize at a very young age that things don’t make you happy, PEOPLE do!

"Discovering Your Soul Signature!"
Join us as we’ll discuss:
What a soul signature is, and how to discover it
The journey to discover—and activate—one’s soul signature, and what one can expect
Why we so often fall back on self-judgment, and how to work toward self-love and self-acceptance
Each of us lives with insecurity—the prospect of losing a job, physical illness, emotional suffering, divorce, the death of loved ones, our own mortality. Today, as we face everything from a fragile economy to traumatic news headlines, many of us grapple and cope with feelings of fear and anxiety, guilt and depression, and in some cases, addiction. When we feel our lives may be falling apart or risk being overrun by these powerful emotions, we long to connect to who we truly are, to know the certainty and peace that comes from our core, because only then can we face—and surmount—life’s challenges.
Panache Desai understands these emotional and spiritual challenges intimately. A contemporary thought leader who has appeared on the Oprah Winfrey Network’s Super Soul Sunday, Desai calls upon us to harness the power of our authentic selves through our unique soul signature—our spiritual DNA—and be guided by our true purpose. In his first book, DISCOVERING YOUR SOUL SIGNATURE (A Spiegel & Grau Hardcover to be published April 29, 2014), he gives readers a day-by-day spiritual roadmap to confront negative emotions and overcome them energetically, in a way that allows us to tap into a deeper sense of worth and well-being.

Marianne Williamson is an internationally acclaimed spiritual author and lecturer. Six of her ten published books have been New York Times Best Sellers. Four of these have been #1 New York Times Best Sellers. A Return to Love is considered a must-read of The New Spirituality. A paragraph from that book, beginning "Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure..." - often misattributed to Nelson Mandela's Inaugural address - is considered an anthem for a contemporary generation of seekers.
Marianne's other books include The Age of Miracles, Everyday Grace, A Woman's Worth, Illuminata, Healing the Soul of America, A Course in Weight Loss, and The Gift of Change. Her newest book, THE LAW OF DIVINE COMPENSATION: On Work, Money and Miracles, will be published this November by Harper Collins.
She has been a popular guest on television programs such as Oprah, Larry King Live, Good Morning America and Charlie Rose. Marianne is a native of Houston, Texas. In 1989, she founded Project Angel Food, a meals-on-wheels program that serves homebound people with AIDS in the Los Angeles area. Today, Project Angel Food serves over 1,000 people daily. Marianne also founded the Department of Peace Campaign, a grass roots campaign to establish a United States Department of Peace.
In December 2006, a NEWSWEEK magazine poll named Marianne Williamson one of the fifty most influential baby boomers. According to Time magazine, "Yoga, the Cabala and Marianne Williamson have been taken up by those seeking a relationship with God that is not strictly tethered to Christianity."

That hormones are safe-estrogen is safe for women, testosterone is safe for men.
Hormones will preserve your brain, heart, skin, bones as you age.
And hormones are the solution to aging with vitality.
Dr. Sklar is a Harvard trained gynecologist who went from sluggish, burned out and overwhelmed to vibrant, vital and happy using the Sklar Center Protocols she developed for the Sklar Center for Restorative Medicine.
She started the Sklar Center for Restorative Medicine in 2007 as a response to the unmet needs of men and women who are looking for answers to the questions of how to feel good in midlife and maintain optimum health long term.
Her journey into this cutting edge medical field began with her own medical problems of gluten intolerance misdiagnosed as colitis, multiple hormone changes so common to midlife women, and disabling osteoarthritis of the knee which was predicted to never improve.
At her center, she implements the perspectives of Restorative and Anti-Aging Medicine which recognize that hormonal and other biochemical deficiencies cause humans to age and decline in ways that are not necessary or inevitable. Replacement and balancing of these natural substances result in improved vitality and a longer healthy span of life with less chronic illness.
After more than 20 years of experience as an Obstetrician-Gynecologist Dr. Sklar pursued training in sexual function solutions for men and women and completed the nationally recognized fellowship in Anti-Aging and Regenerative Medicine sponsored by the American Academy of Anti-Aging Medicine.
Her passion is bringing this knowledge to the community so that everyone can take advantage of this new perspective and live longer, healthier lives. She sees private patients at her center in Long Beach, California
