Listen Later

🇵🇹 A 6-month assignment turned into 14 months of growth, stretch, and unexpected life lessons.


In this deeply personal episode of The Bold New Normal, Lucy Quist takes us to Portugal—first as a young professional stepping into the unknown, and then 20+ years later, as a mother showing her children what boldness, exploration, and joy really look like.


📌 In this episode, you’ll discover:

  • The power of saying “yes” to unfamiliar opportunities
  • Why you don’t need the “most successful” mentor to grow
  • How risk-taking in your 20s builds future confidence
  • Why exposure fuels both career and personal evolution
  • The importance of enjoying the journey—not just the outcome


✨ Want to live your bold new normal? It starts with a stretch.
