I often get asked how to boost our confidence—a tough question, because so many ways exist! My guest in this week’s Sage Sayer’s podcast shares a passion with me for travel. Her name’s Azra Bandali and she’s ventured to 32 countries, an almost annual practice she started as a girl. Azra feels convinced travel has molded her into the woman she is today.
In our interview, Azra shares her favorite visits (Africa’s amongst them) and the role a self-imposed sabbatical to Hawaii played—something she negotiated with her employer— in navigating burnout and exhaustion during Covid. (She kept her job, by the way; and she’s risen since.)
You can find Azra on LinkedIn and Instagram, and enjoy updates of her travels. (Her #AzrasSabbatical comes also with #KeepingitReal) You can follow me also on LinkedIn and find details on my coaching via my website.
This post becomes the last post for 2023. Thank you for supporting my podcast this year! We did so great and we’re almost at 100 episodes! (Not bad for an immigrant-owned, woman-owned venture and when podcasting’s something I fit around full-time coaching.) I’ve more guests coming in the New Year and will feel inspired for more podcasting after visiting my motherland in New Zealand. Thanks again to Dotun Ayeni for his BEAUTIFUL edits. He adds magic to these captures every time.
