Join your host, Jennie Eckstrom of Uncluttered Mind, MD. Let’s take this journey together. It’s time to look beyond the curtain.
On this week’s episode of Mind Behind the Curtain, Dr. Jennie Eckstrom sits down with Dr. Courtney Downes—Emergency Medicine physician, avid traveler, and founder of Prescription to Travel MD. Dr. Downes helps busy professionals transform everyday expenses, CME dollars, and loyalty programs into intentional, restorative, luxury travel experiences without the luxury price tag.
In this conversation, we explore the mindset shift that turned travel into her personal prescription for wellness, the heartbreaking catalyst that pushed her to stop delaying joy, and the practical strategies she now teaches thousands of professionals who want to live fully now—not after retirement.
