Podcast

May 22

Written By

Today, I’m talking about how to eat and live healthy when you’re traveling (without letting it take over your trip).Why travel? Even though we work online in the digital space, most of us are building relationships by flying or driving to conferences, meetups, and events every year. And, of course, vacations are essential to your self care.

"Ladies, I need some advice/suggestions on eating well for travel. I've got two upcoming trips (yay!) but I don't want to lose the amazing habits Adria has helped me to create." - Nina

We had a discussion about this in the Feed Your Hustle Facebook group a while back. I figured it was perfect timing for this episode in light of the holiday weekend and that I just returned this week from traveling to Dallas for Nathalie Lussier's Off the Charts Live conference, a meeting of 200 incredible heart-centered female entrepreneurs.Listen above or scroll down for recommended travel tools, grocery lists, and hotel room recipes.

"The goal of healthy travel is to keep your energy flowing and avoid that tired, weighted down feeling that comes with lots of sitting and heavy foods." - Adria DeCorte
