Mental health support for nomads is more important than ever, especially as more people choose location freedom without leaving their emotional wellbeing behind. Whether you're a therapist looking to reach a global audience or a traveler seeking support that understands your lifestyle, this conversation is packed with insight and inspiration.

In this episode of The Traveling Therapist Podcast, I chat with Geleen Antonio, the founder of Travel Not to Escape—a platform that connects nomads with therapy resources that meet them where they are. We explore how Geleen built a global mental health directory, why culturally aligned care matters, and how she's making mental health support for nomads more accessible and community-driven than ever before.

In This Episode, We Explore…

• Why traditional mental health models don’t always work for nomads
• How Travel Not to Escape connects travelers with therapists who “get it”
• The importance of culturally competent care for people living abroad
• How Geleen directory supports both therapists and global clients

Building a coaching business with intention isn’t just about strategy—it’s about honoring who you are, what you value, and the kind of life you want to create. For Lauren, that meant walking away from a path in traditional therapy and choosing to build a business that aligned with her energy, lifestyle, and deeper sense of purpose.

In this episode of The Traveling Therapist Podcast, I talk with Lauren Ashley about her journey from psychology to coaching, how travel gave her clarity, and why building a coaching business with intention is at the heart of everything she does now. She shares what it looked like to pause, get real with herself, and rebuild a business that feels authentic, easeful, and aligned.

• Lauren’s path from psychology to coaching and how she knew it was time to pivot
• The role travel played in helping her reconnect with herself and her purpose
• Why energetic alignment matters when building a business
