It’s all too easy to become
complacent in life. The routine we have gotten used to, the habits
we have created become our normal. But what happens when that state
of normal leaves you feeling lost, stuck in a rut or even
depressed? It’s time for an adventure, that’s what!
That’s exactly what Stacey Newman decided right
before she took the first step to recreate her life and happiness.
As a divorced, working mom of two kids, Stacey was in a job that
didn’t light her up anymore and had a string of failed
relationships behind her. She struggled to find what was missing
from her life, but she reckoned that a change of perspective might
help her figure it out.
Stacey went from “woe is me” to
“wow is me” by resolving to look at everything in her life as an
opportunity. She realized that adventure doesn’t need to be a
backpacking trip across the world to hike the Indonesian mountains.
Adventure is simply a new experience or opportunity, and it can be
a single tiny step or a momentous leap. It can be across the
country or right on your doorstep.
Stacey’s first adventure was a baby step. She left her office by a different exit than usual and walked home via a different route. The next week she tried a new restaurant that she passed the previous week. And the week after, she did something else, and then something else, and eventually, Adventure Wednesdays were born.
By continuously pushing herself into her curiosity and discomfort, Stacey discovered the things she liked to do. She created adventures that were unique and fulfilling to her, without following someone else’s definition of adventure.
Since then, she has met her
“adventure partner,” hula hooped on top of a mountain, installed
art at the Burning Man Festival, started her own online business,
sold her house, and moved across the country to explore her dreams
of a tiny home and nomadic life.
Stacey now coaches others on releasing fear and
limiting beliefs so they can find their own adventures, create
connections with others, and experience deep fulfillment and
happiness. It’s her mission to help you move out of that feeling of
being stuck and realize that you’re not lost; you’re simply….on an
adventure.
