SIDELINE SISTERS E86 Lisa Niver takes small steps toward feeling brave and finding joyhttps://youtu.be/hSqkVQsanlULisa Niver is a Telly Award-winning travel journalist, TV host, and author of the award-winning memoir Brave-ish: One Breakup, Six Continents, and Feeling Fearless After Fifty. She’s explored over 100 countries on all seven continents, with bylines in USA Today 10Best, The Los Angeles Times, and WIRED. Host of the podcast Make Your Own Map, Lisa inspires audiences worldwide through her bold adventures, powerful storytelling, and passion for reinvention.

Lisa's Notes from the Sidelines:

  • Being brave and adventurous have to do with perspective -- how we think of ourselves and the judgement perceived.
  • Small steps lead to big changes.
  • Starting over is hard... no matter how many times you've done it.
  • Like scuba diving, in life, when we have challenges, we need to lean on a buddy. So reach out, take small steps, and find a buddy.
  • You can't do new things in an old way.
  • Acknowledgement and winning is validating, especially when you do your work alone and don't know if it's impactful.
  • Find what makes you happy and do it. It is much easier with the internet to find your people.
  • Travel lets you learn new things and gives you the opportunity for perspective.
  • You can have a travel experience without ever getting on a plane. Explore your own city.
  • Be kind to yourself. It's easy to label yourself a failure, but we don't call a baby a failure when it's learning to walk.
  • When someone says no to you, maybe it means something better is coming.🎙️Listen to Sideline Sisters podcast on your favorite app: https://pod.link/1709566379🌐Check ⁠Jentle Coaching website⁠: www.jentlecoaching.com👉Follow ⁠@jentlecoaching on Instagram⁠: www.instagram.com/jentlecoaching
