In this episode of the Traveling Therapist Podcast, Kym introduces Sahara Rose De Vore, the innovative founder of the Travel Coach Network. Unlike traditional travel agents, Sahara and her network specialize in travel coaching, leveraging travel as a powerful tool for personal growth, transformation, and healing. Through the Travel Coach Certification Program, which is the world's first ICF-accredited program in this niche, Sahara trains individuals to help clients set meaningful intentions for their trips, ensuring travel serves as a catalyst for achieving their goals and experiencing profound life changes. This unique approach to travel is designed not just for the planning and booking phase but to deeply understand the 'why' behind each journey, allowing for truly transformative experiences.

 

Sahara shares compelling case examples of how travel coaching has aided individuals in navigating life's challenges, such as coping with loss or standing at a crossroads in their careers. Her network includes coaches specializing in various niches, emphasizing the multifaceted benefits of travel in promoting mental, emotional, and physical wellness. The episode beautifully illustrates how travel can be a strategic and intentional tool for self-discovery, confidence-building, and overcoming personal struggles, with Sahara herself detailing her journey through 84 countries and how travel profoundly impacted her life and career direction.

 

Sahara Rose De Vore is a Wellness Travel Coach and the Founder and CEO of The Travel Coach Network, a global community of travel coaches. Sahara went from broke college student to traveling to 84 countries solo to trailblazing a new path in the travel industry.
