"Wellness and healing cannot happen when oppression exists." This is just one of many gems that Jackie Roby drops throughout this fascinating interview. She is the  Chief Excellence Officer of Inspired Journey Consulting, a sales strategist for wellness travel businesses, and a DEI consultant for the travel industry. Her personal and professional history is rich, winding, and culminates in a robust understanding of equity in the travel industry.  She and Christine talk about different elements of wellness travel, the potent work that can happen when one leaves home and enters a travel space, the downsides of luxury travel, and more. This conversation draws us into the wide range of travel experiences - luxury, adventure, and off-season - and what can shift for travelers as a result of engaging in these different ways.Learn more about Jackie and Inspired Journey Consulting here.Follow her on Instagram @inspiredjourneyconsulting.Learn about the Transformational Travel Counsel here.
