Episode 6: Travel Takeaways and Tips

Today we are talking all about one of my favorite hobbies: travel!


Recently, my husband, Patrick, and I traveled to Canada (Vancouver and Whistler). After a summer spent at home in Santa Barbara, this was the first true vacation (and international trip) that we have taken in a while. As we all know, travel comes with its highs and lows and successes and headaches. I’ve been reflecting on our trip, and I wanted to share some tips and observations about traveling with you all (some more serious than others):


• Change is constant
• Casual clothing at the airport
• Trusty reusable water bottles  
• TSA PreCheck and Global Entry for the win
• The unfasten-seatbelts ding moment
• Airport hotels really are convenient
• Why we usually don’t rent a car
• Make plans, but also, don’t
• Chat with the locals
• The souvenir that I always buy

I hope that this episode will be useful for your future travels! As always, if you enjoyed this episode, please subscribe, share, or leave a star rating and review. You can always reach me by email or send me a DM too. Thank you!

Kinda chic to be a cowgirl (sorry, I had to) 🤠 W Kinda chic to be a cowgirl (sorry, I had to) 🤠 

What a beautiful visit to @visitsyv - dining at @nellakitchenbar, shopping at @wildflowerwomenboutique and @globaleyeshop, and an epic ride and wine tasting at @buttonwoodwinery 🍷 

Buttonwood’s property is gorgeous. What a treat to ride through the vineyards and end with a crisp, chilled wine. Also, shout out to Willy - we’re buds now. 🐎 

That barn too. Absolutely stunning. Do you love a visit to The Valley too? 🍇

NEW episode of The Bets Life Podcast with @wanderm NEW episode of The Bets Life Podcast with @wandermentfarms 🎙️ 

Episode 70: Growing a Better Future: Margo Redfern on Regenerative Farming & Reinvention 🌱 

Is a return to regenerative farming the answer that we need for climate change? How are we able to learn from the past to help the future of farming? 🤔 

On this podcast episode, I’m joined by Margo Redfern, founder of Wanderment Farms, a 56-acre regenerative farm in Santa Barbara County. After witnessing the devastating California wildfires and feeling called to make a difference, Margo and her husband left the Bay Area behind in search of land. They had one goal in mind: restore the land while helping to create a healthier future for generations to come. ☀️ 

Margo breaks down what regenerative farming actually means, why our soil and food nutrition are in crisis, and how simple shifts in the way we farm could have an enormous impact on helping our environment. We also talk about starting an entirely new chapter later in life, the challenges that farmers continue to face, and why “tuck-in time” is Margo’s favorite.🦙 

Plus, we dive into all the farm animals (hint: there are never enough livestock guardian dogs), cheese making, farm-to-table dinners, and the surprising realities of modern farming. 👩‍🌾 

Whether you’re passionate about sustainability, love learning about where your food comes from, or simply enjoy hearing inspiring stories of people creating meaningful change, this conversation is full of hope, education, and practical takeaways. 👏🏻
