Jolene Mahaffey has always been a woman of movement — not just across borders, but across life’s seasons. A curious spirit. A nurturer. A seeker. At 52, she had already collected stamps in her passport and stories in her heart. But what she craved most wasn’t just more travel it was meaningful travel. The kind that stirs the soul, deepens connection, and leaves a woman changed in the best of ways.

It all began with a solo retreat to Sedona. Tired, emotionally stretched, and seeking clarity, Jolene walked into that journey unsure of what she’d find but somewhere between the red rocks and the silence, she heard her own voice again. That retreat didn’t just heal her. It sparked her.

She began asking the deeper questions:
What if more women had the space to pause, reflect, and reconnect with themselves without guilt or distraction?
What if travel wasn’t about escape, but about returning home to your truest self?

That spark became a calling.

And so, Jolene Journeys was born  not just as a travel planner, but as a movement of mindful exploration for women in their prime. Women who have raised families, built careers, carried weight and wisdom and are now ready to be poured into.

Through carefully curated retreats in Tuscany, Koh Phangan, the Douro Valley, and beyond, Jolene creates experiences that blend wellness, sisterhood, creativity, and soulful living. She believes every woman deserves to step into her next chapter with joy, curiosity, and confidence and that the best way to do that is in the company of kindred spirits, surrounded by beauty and purpose.
