Beachside Banter w/Bee

S2, Episode #7 – Finding Happiness (and the best travel hacks) with Leighton Campbell

About this episode:

In this inspiring episode of Beachside Banter with Bee, Leighton Campbell drops by to talk about happiness, world travel, family dynamics, and how to pack smarter (hint: it involves letting go of more than just old clothes). As a devoted father, husband, entrepreneur, and author of Your Happiness Equation, Leighton shares wisdom from his adventures across the globe — including all Seven Wonders of the World — and opens up about how travel and intentional living can shift your mindset and help you build a more joyful life.

What You’ll Learn in This Episode:
• What inspired Leighton to visit all Seven Wonders of the World
• How travel shaped his personal and emotional growth post-divorce
• Practical travel hacks for real humans (including the “throw it away as you go” method)
• Why creating travel goals makes the journey more meaningful
• A sneak peek into Your Happiness Equation and the seven-question framework that could change your life
• Why some people bounce back faster from emotional setbacks — and how to give yourself grace if you don’t
