S1 E11 Morgan Donovan on the Make It Happen Podcast

Rediscovering yourself while traveling, owning your worth, and tips to make travel safe + feasible

On the season finale of the Make It Happen Podcast, Melanie is joined by artist, world-traveler, and American turned Canadian: Morgan Donovan.  After only knowing each other through Instagram and writing letters to each other, they finally get to chat face to face and they discuss all things travel, self-worth, standing up for yourself, the value of skills, the importance of paying creatives for their work.

Morgan share what some of the hardships are for female travelers, tips to make travel feasible, and the cute story of how she set off to find herself and ended up meeting the love of her life along the way. Morgan is wonderfully open about the struggles that she has faced and how she has solidified her self-identity in a way that makes changing circumstances, like starting a new relationship and moving to a new country, possible.

Creativity, self-confidence, and the things that most add value to life

For today’s episode, Melanie is thrilled to have her best friend and fellow empath, Israel Rodriguez, on the podcast.  He is the ultimate creative–we’re talking art, music, painting, drawing, writing, and more–but he outlines how he hasn’t always considered himself that way.  Israel opens up about having insecurities as a teenager and how that led to his development of self-confidence. He opens up about the impact of his parents’ divorce and overcoming self-imposed limiting beliefs.  His approach to life and his ability to see great things in moments and people is inspiring, appreciative, and refreshing.
