Navigating Personal Growth

Episode 138: Buy the Ticket, Lose the Plan: The Case for Getting Lost (On Purpose)


Listen Later

I booked a one-way into Maine and a flight out of Connecticut — no hotel, no rigid itinerary, just curiosity and two open dates. What happened on that trip reminded me of something we lose as adults: our sense of wonder and adventure. 


In this episode I share stories from the Northeast, and turn those moments into practical ways you can invite mystery back into your life. We’ll cover how to build micro-adventures, set gentle constraints that make spontaneity safe, and train your senses so wonder finds you even in the busiest weeks. 


If you’re tired of living by checklists and want to feel alive again, this episode is your permission slip to loosen the plan and rediscover delight.

👉 You’ll walk away with:

- Simple micro-adventures you can try this week.


- A practical approach so unplanned time doesn’t feel chaotic.


- A 1-minute sensory practice to reboot curiosity instantly.


🎧 Tune in to reclaim playful discovery — no passport required.
