Luxury Travel Insider Memento Mori for Travelers | Author, Jodi Wellman: Letting the Reality of Time Change How You Explore
Today's episode is perfect for you if you need a little kick in the pants to make space for your life's experiences.
So many of us intuitively feel that travel changes us - that it makes us more alive, more curious, more connected and our guest today will help illuminate some of that for us. Jodi Wellman is a speaker, author of the book, You Only Die Once, fellow Penn graduate, and founder of Four Thousand Mondays. Jodi's work centers on a powerful idea: that our time on this earth is limited and precious. And when we really let that sink in, it changes how we choose to live.
In this conversation, we unpack the psychology behind the Latin phrase memento mori, and how this awareness of our fragility can actually increase vitality and meaning. Then we bring it into travel. How does knowing our time is limited shift the trips we take, the experiences we prioritize, and the way we show up? How do we return home not just rested, but more alive?
So, if you've ever told yourself, "We'll take that trip someday," this episode might gently challenge that.
