Courtesy Christine Winebrenner Irick One of the most unusual and insightful travel podcasts on Apple Podcasts is Soul of Travel: Women's Wisdom and Mindful Travel . It’s where host Christine Winebrenner Irick, the founder of Lotus Sojourns, a women’s travel company, engages in deep and insightful conversations with a diverse range of women in the travel sphere.
Irick has a gentle and insightful approach, something of a revelation in the podcast world, and a manner reminiscent of Krista Tippett of On Being . She brings new topics and a fresh perspective to the travel genre. “When I began Soul of Travel, I was in a time of personal growth with a focus on overcoming the fear of being heard and using my voice,” Irick says.
“Honestly, I heard a sort of whisper from the Universe that said, ‘You are going to start a podcast. It will be called ‘Soul of Travel’. I have always loved interviews and deep conversations and knowing the people I wanted to speak to about travel, I felt like hearing their voices as they shared their stories would be important.
I also wanted to allow my guests to share their own stories and amplify their voices and work, and this felt like the format that would best allow me to achieve those goals.” Since it began in 2020, Soul of Travel has clocked nearly 200 episodes or “conversations,” as Irick cal.
