Meet Teri
Hi, I'm Teri, a Travel Coach specializing in empowering women to unlock their potential through intentional travel and financial empowerment. With over 28 years of experience as a psychotherapist, I transitioned to coaching so I could have a lifestyle of freedom and exploration.
As a Tapping Into Wealth coach, I guide women in identifying and changing their limiting beliefs around money so they have more opportunities to live the life they really want and not the one they can afford.
I am also a Travel Coach where I help women over 50 make changes in their lives through intentional travel. I have seen how much travel has changed me in getting me out of my comfort zone and gaining the confidence to know I can do just about anything I decide to do and how it has opened up a whole new world for me. I want to help other women experience that, too.
A little about my story…
I had been busy as a therapist and didn’t take much time off. I moved out of state to take care of my Mom for 5 years and that’s when I switched from being a therapist to being a coach. After my Mom died, I felt lost. I was exhausted and aimless. I was content in my life and probably could have continued on as I was but I knew I didn’t want to. I wanted more…
But I didn’t know what MORE was for me. I knew my life was lacking excitement and passion. I felt blah.
At the time I had no idea what would bring more passion and excitement into my life so I thought back to a time when I felt more of it. I journaled. And it started to get clear for me.
Travel. I used to love to travel but hadn’t taken a trip in years.
A few months later, an opportunity to go to Rome, Italy, presented itself. It was an organized trip and I was to meet up with 9 other women in Rome for the month. Going on this trip to Italy was way out of my comfort zone. I hadn’t traveled out of the country in many years and I was traveling alone. Would I be okay for a whole month? Could I even get a new passport in time? And I worried a bit about meeting up with a group of women I didn’t know. I closed my eyes and clicked to fill out an application to go. I figured I could deal with my fears and doubts later.
The trip itself was wonderful! What surprised me the most was how going to Italy felt like going home for me. I’m not Italian, I don’t speak Italian, and I had never even really considered traveling to Italy before, and yet I loved how I felt when I was there.
I learned that I am actually quite adventurous and wanted to see many things, often going off by myself. After a month in Italy, I almost didn’t recognize myself. I felt confident. I felt excited about life. My work that I was doing while I was traveling felt more inspired.
I want other women who are feeling stuck or lost in their lives, especially after a major life transition, to know that they can try new things, have goals, learn more about themselves in the process and by doing so, gain confidence that they can do much more than they ever thought possible. All of this can be accomplished by traveling when it’s done with intention.
