In this episode, host Ashleigh Bodell takes listeners on an intimate journey through her dream trip to Iceland—a destination she’s held close to her heart since childhood. As a full-time orthopedic physician assistant, mom, wife, and passionate explorer of all things mystical, Ashleigh shares what it meant to finally manifest this magical adventure after over two decades of wishing and planning.

Listeners will hear candid reflections on how travel with family is often more of a spiritual awakening than a vacation, filled with moments of chaos, laughter, and growth. Ashleigh discusses the importance of letting go of perfection, embracing presence, capturing memories, and finding beauty in the unplanned. She opens up about Iceland's profound impact—its stunning landscapes, witchy museums, waterfalls, and traditions—while emphasizing how disconnecting from technology can deepen one’s experience.

From vow renewals amidst volcanic vistas to swimming in geothermal lagoons and shopping for traditional sweaters, this episode is packed with inspiration for anyone longing to follow their own sacred pull. Whether you’re crystal curious or a seasoned mystic, Ashleigh’s soulful storytelling will encourage you to embrace the magic in everyday moments, say yes to adventure, and find the places that make your spirit come alive.

So, pour a cup of tea, grab your favorite crystal, and join Ashleigh as she guides you through the transformative energy of Iceland—reminding us all to let the chaos be magic.
