#085 - Imagine packing up your life and jetting off to a remote island halfway across the world. That's the story of our spirited guest, Lexie Brown, who traded in her urban life for an adventure-packed existence on the Marshall Islands. This episode takes us on a wild journey to the sandy shores of the Pacific, unearthing the emotional upheaval and logistical challenges of such a drastic move.

Picture this: a small island, no personal vehicles, daily encounters with the vibrant local culture, and a lagoon teeming with marine life where aggressive fish are a part of your swimming experience. It's not your typical postcard vacation - it's Lexie's everyday life. We'll hear about her exhilarating diving ventures,  a project that searches for the remains of missing American soldiers from World War II, and the personal milestones she's achieved while living on the island, including a triumphant three-mile swim. 

Change can be terrifying, but it can also open doors to unimaginable adventures and personal growth. As Lexie narrates her tale of adapting to a new environment and embracing unique experiences, we're reminded of the endless possibilities that life presents when we dare to step out of our comfort zones. From funny anecdotes about trigger fish to inspiring stories of resilience and perseverance, this episode is a testament to the beauty of embracing change and seizing the day, island-style. Join us on this unforgettable journey with Lexie Brown!
