This is a love story, but maybe not the kind you expect.
It started with an epiphany and a desire to live life more fully. One fateful day in 2017, a thirty-something American woman who, up until that point, had been a responsible, hard-working, tax-paying citizen, decided to leave her home and career and set off to explore the other side of the world. That choice led to a three-year journey laced with serendipity and unexpected twists of fate that would show her more than she ever imagined.
Joyful and uninhibited, this soul-nourishing tale of love and adventure intertwined with discovery explores the mystery of life and human nature across cultures and continents, from the cloud-fringed mountains of Myanmar to the pristine beaches of southern France. Sometimes hilarious, occasionally shocking, always honest, this deliciously told travel memoir entertains and captivates while examining synchronicity, choice and destiny, the roots of happiness, and multiple facets of love against a vivid backdrop of some of the world’s most beautiful and little-known places.

Diane Ray has a rich past of 11 years working with Hay House and incredible people like Louise Hay and Wayne Dyer. Her podcast covers many of my favorite topics, and in this episode we discussed synchronicities, intuition, fear of traveling solo (and how to overcome it), travel angels, breakups, and finding magic, among other subjects. [This interview does contain a couple spoilers, so best listened to after you’ve read the book.] Click the image above to hear this episode on Spotify, or find it wherever you get your podcasts.
This episode was part of Book Banter’s Season 3 Love Fest, and I must say it was so much fun to be part of a love fest. We talked about love in many forms and other topics, from self-doubt and anxiety to the mysteries of life.

We talked about many other topics as well, and the one that stood out most to me was Krystel's refreshing perspective on death and grief.

Interview with Cyndi Edwards, host of Streetwise Live! and former host of the daily TV show "Daytime.” We talked about the journey through India and southeast Asia that’s described in Some Kind of Magic, how that journey was funded, the process of learning to let go of things once they’re no longer meant for you, and stepping through fear to find the magic on the other side.
My favorite quote from Cyndi:
I needed to read [this book] because I was going through an extremely stressful time, and the one thing that really resonated with me was about trusting the Universe and just not having to feel like you’re in control. Because you can’t really control anything, can you?
