Thank you Erin Keating and Hotter Than Ever! I loved coming on your show.
Despite traveling to 102 countries and scuba-diving with shark countless times, writer and travel expert Lisa Niver wouldn’t call herself “brave”. She prefers “brave-ish”. As Lisa explains in her memoir, Brave-ish: One Breakup, Six Continents and Feeling Fearless After Fifty, cultivating bravery is like planting seeds—it takes patience and practice to see it grow. Years later, the fruits of those seeds have led Lisa on an incredible journey of self-discovery, adventure, and transformation.
In this captivating episode, Lisa reminds us that it’s never too late to live our own “Brave-ish” life, explore the world, and create the life we dream of.
In addition, Erin and Lisa discuss:
Lisa’s transformation and liberation after getting divorced at 47.
Her pursuit of 50 new adventures before turning 50 and the lessons she learned along the way
The significance of self-care, rest, and reflection in achieving personal growth
Redefining bravery as a muscle that grows through practice and facing fears
The power of embracing change, stepping out of our comfort zones, and taking challenges head-on
The importance of honest self-assessment, finding balance between adventure and community
Crafting a unique, unconventional life path
