Breaking away from the grind of daily life, I discovered the power of self-care, a theme that resonated deeply throughout this unique adventure. Joining me is Christine Lozada, a seasoned media influencer and Virgin Voyages expert. From the chic vibe at Sips to the vibrant energy onboard, Christine shares her insider insights and personal experiences, highlighting what makes a Virgin Voyage unlike any other. Together, we dive into the importance of stepping out of your comfort zone and embracing the unknown, whether it's cruising solo, prioritizing self-care, or finding inspiration in the little things—like a cocktail at sea. Tune in to hear our stories, reflections, and the lessons learned as we explored Puerto Plata and charted a course for personal growth. &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; Follow Christne&amp;nbsp; on Youtube &quot;Where in the World is CL&quot; &amp;nbsp; IG @Christinelozda&amp;nbsp; Check out this cruise recap by Christine, yes im in it....&amp;nbsp; lol&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; https://youtu.be/jwLTdZhdU0s?si=fJRIKOVg-eXDCljn Off the Bench with Mark Wiggins http://www.markwigginsonline.com <iframe title="Libsyn Player" style="border: none" src="//html5-player.libsyn.com/embed/episode/id/34339350/height/90/theme/custom/thumbnail/yes/direction/forward/render-playlist/no/custom-color/88AA3C/" height="90" width="600" scrolling="no" allowfullscreen webkitallowfullscreen mozallowfullscreen oallowfullscreen msallowfullscreen></iframe> https://assets.libsyn.com/secure/content/182093285
