Join Leah M. Hill on this inspiring episode of Rise, Heal, and Grow as she sits down with Nancy Gardella, a tourism and destination development leader with more than 20 years of experience helping people discover the power of travel, connection, and curiosity. From childhood road trips across the country in a Winnebago to a life-changing exchange semester in France and leading tourism initiatives across Massachusetts, Nancy shares how exploration can transform not only how we see the world, but how we see ourselves. Together, Leah and Nancy dive into the deeper impact of tourism—how welcoming visitors strengthens communities, fuels local economies, supports wellness, and creates meaningful human connections that last a lifetime. They also explore the stories, history, and experiences that make North of Boston a destination filled with discovery, reminding us that sometimes growth begins the moment we step outside what’s familiar and embrace curiosity, adventure, and connection.

Jennifer Gilligan, founder of Cove Aesthetics and Care, joins Leah M. Hill on Rise, Heal, and
Grow for a powerful conversation about healing from the inside out. With more than 30
years in healthcare and a deep passion for root-cause medicine, hormone optimization,
spirituality, and patient advocacy, Jennifer shares her journey from an unhealthy childhood
environment to becoming a respected Nurse Practitioner and integrative wellness leader.
Together, Leah and Jennifer explore the failures of today’s “sick care” system, the
importance of self-advocacy, the connection between emotional and physical healing, and
how true wellness begins when we reconnect with ourselves. This episode is an
empowering reminder that healing is possible, wholeness matters, and it’s never too late
to become the best version of yourself
