Soul of Travel: Celebrating 4,500 downloads!!!

Christine Winebrenner Irick, Lotus Sojourns Founder

A Podcast Journey…

Soul of Travel podcast just hit a major milestone! Our community is celebrating 4,500 downloads!!! I am so proud of these conversations and have loved hearing positive feedback on the impact each episode is having on listeners.

A little less than a year ago I hit the button to have the first season go LIVE on Buzzprout (our hosting platform). Then magic happened. I started seeing downloads! I KNEW I was creating great content, but I wasn't sure if people would find it or connect to it.

When I hit 300 downloads my heart was soaring! 300 people had now heard soulful conversations celebrating the Voices of Women, businesses, and organizations creating positive change in this world through their work in the tourism industry!

This is my BIG dream!!! I want to amplify the voices of women, celebrate this work, share how travelers can find ways to have an impact when they travel. I'm dreaming of travel coming back bigger and more impactful than ever!


Over the year I have learned a LOT!  I've learned a lot about the process of creating a podcast and a lot from each of the people who have said 'yes' and joined me on this journey.


Here is what people are saying...

Women, travel, and sustainability

Christine’s podcast hits right at the intersection of women leaders in the travel industry following their dreams to build a more sustainable tourism industry! I love learning about ways to make my own worldwide travel more sustainable, engaged, and meaningful! Kudos, Christine!

Looking forward...I have bigger dreams! I'm sharing them with you to hold me accountable and to ask for your support in achieving these goals.

  • End Season 3: Shaping our Future on my 100th episode!!!

  • Having 160 downloads per episode, ending with over 10,000 total downloads!

  • 200 Subscribers!

  • $2 donation per episode, or $10 per month from my listeners!


Right now I need you more than ever to meet these goals! 

The first three goals are SUPER EXCITING! But the last is CRITICAL for me to continue to produce this valuable and inspiring content. You can support my work and the work of all my guests by making a monthly or one-time donation on PayPal. This allows me to have a professional team helping me to produce high-quality and consistent content and gives me the freedom to find even more inspiring women to speak with. Thank you!!!

I have some incredible guests lined up for the rest of the season and I cannot wait for you to hear their stories!

I am grateful for those of you who have championed me during this journey. I have loved it more than I ever imagined and I cannot wait to bring even more love and light to the world through these soulful conversations!

Enjoy your journey!
Christine
