Speaking of Travel® With Marilyn Ball

Pilar Guzmán On The Soul Of Travel And The Art Of Living Well At Oprah Daily

Pilar Guzmán

In this soul-stirring episode of Speaking of Travel, we welcome the radiant and deeply authentic Pilar Guzmán, Editorial Director of Oprah Daily, whose voice has long guided readers toward lives of intention, connection, and beauty. 

With grace, warmth, and unflinching honesty, Pilar opens up about her creative vision for Oprah Daily, a space that has become a sanctuary for mindful living, soulful exploration, and profound storytelling.

Pilar shares the inspiration behind the Oprah Daily Travel Issue, a breathtaking invitation for women to rediscover themselves through the liberating lens of travel. 

This isn’t just about getting away; it’s about coming home to yourself. Through powerful stories, Pilar reveals how travel can be a sacred act of self-care, a way to realign with your inner compass, and a catalyst for deep emotional renewal.

Together we explore what it means to live well... not in excess, but with presence, wonder, and soul. Pilar reminds us that living well is not about perfection or performance. It’s about pausing long enough to ask what truly nourishes us, finding the courage to follow that answer, and allowing travel to be both a mirror and a doorway.

With poetic insight and a storyteller’s heart, Pilar encourages us to embrace curiosity, awe, and the expansive joy that comes from exploring not only the world but the vast landscapes within ourselves. 

This is an episode that will stay with you, awaken your spirit of adventure, and invite you to redefine what it means to live fully and love deeply.

“Travel can be the greatest act of self-care.” ~ Pilar Guzmán
