The Value of Creative Exploration
Episode 6: Geetika Agrawal on Vacation with an Artist
What’s your idea of the ideal vacation? In this episode of Awaken Your Wise Woman, host Elizabeth Cush welcomes Geetika Agrawal, a designer and entrepreneur, to talk about what can happen when you vacation with an artist.
“How am I going to think of my life journey? I don’t want it to be a straight line. It’s all the twists and turns that are going to make it exciting.”
Show Notes:
When was the last time you went on vacation? Where did you go? What did you do? What did you learn? Did you stay beside the pool or immerse yourself in a new place and a new culture? Were you escaping from your life or were you able to escape to a new experience, a new threshold? Sometimes vacations are an opportunity to do nothing. Other times, they are an opportunity to enrich our lives. In this episode of the Awaken Your Wise Woman (previously Woman Worriers) podcast, host Elizabeth Cush, LCPC, a licensed professional therapist, founder of Progression Counseling in Annapolis, Md., and a mid-life women’s life coach, welcomes Geetika Agrawal, founder and CEO of Vacation With An Artist, a unique concept that pairs travelers with master artists around the world. They talk about how these mini apprenticeships work and the unexpected lessons we can learn from them.
