@leaveyourmarkpodcast New on the podcast: @LisaNiver on Being Brave-ish, Leaving Relationships that Don’t Serve You, and Removing Can’t From Your Vocabulary Lisa Niver has traveled in far-off locales from Vanuatu to Nepal, received numerous accolades as an award-winning travel expert who has explored 102 countries and six continents, and is the founder of the website WeSaidGoTravel, what people don’t realize is that this began from the wreckage of a rotten romance.   As a newlywed, Lisa was on the adventure of a lifetime. She had quit her job, rented her condo, and traveled around Asia. To the outside world, Lisa was a woman living out her dreams of exploring ancient ruins in Cambodia and seeing orangutans in Borneo. She kept a dark secret in private: an abusive relationship. But, when she found herself lying on a sidewalk in Thailand, looking up at the sky in severe pain, she knew things had to change. At age forty- seven, Niver found the courage to set course on a new life.   Feeling like a failure, pushing fifty, and moving home to her parents’ house to start again from scratch, Lisa began taking one tiny “brave-ish” step at a time to take her life far away from the old one and into the adventurous world of travel writing. These small hurdles led to the challenge of trying fifty new things before turning fifty. From diving into shipwrecks, swimming with sharks, bobsledding at 3Gs, indulging in wild escapades, Lisa found herself traversing the world on a journey of reinvention, personal growth, and discovering what it actually means to be “brave.”   Her new book Brave-ish: One Breakup, Six Continents, and Feeling Fearless After Fifty, chronicles Lisa’s inspiring expeditions to distant corners of the world, including Myanmar, Cuba, Morocco, Kenya, and Mongolia, but this is more than a travelogue. Brave-ish inspires readers to dream big, take risks, and embrace the unknown to create a life filled with wonder and excitement, even when courage seems elusive.   In this episode, Lisa shares how she saved herself, took risks, embraced the unknown, and pressed the reset button when she fell off track. She also shares how she taught herself to rest, not quit. Lisa’s story is a testament to the resilience of the human spirit and the power of perseverance.    #podcastinterview #badrelationships #solotravel #newbook #braveish #abuseawareness ♬ original sound – LEAVE YOUR MARK Podcast

Thank you to Aliza Licht for interviewing me on her LEAVE YOUR MARK podcast, and to Lori Adams-Brown for interviewing me on A World of Difference Podcast.

Thank you Christine Winebrenner Irick for including me in the Soul of Travel book-i-sode!

Lisa’s book is the memoir detailing how she completed fifty crazy challenges and dares after turning fifty to reinvent herself after her divorce. Brave-ish is for people who might not feel that brave, “and who are trying to figure out what to do next. Small steps lead to big changes,” she encourages. She enjoys sharing all of her experiences and her travels in different mediums and online, and is thrilled to be the narrator in the audiobook version of Brave-ish. Listen to Christine’s episode with Lisa.

Thank you to Dave Kiley for honoring my friend, Nancy Ford-Dunn’s daughter, Ellame, by doing 5 marathons in 5 nights.
