Co-hosts Chris and Debbie, along with their guests, share tales that will inspire you to leap from your ho-hum, everyday life into a more purpose-filled and adventurous one--a life that is totally off-script from what’s been prescribed, one that’s uniquely your own. Perhaps you find yourself stuck in the rut of a career that no longer serves your soul, a feeling of being disconnected from people who simply don’t get you, or you’re feeling suffocated by an overwhelming fear that won’t allow you to be your authentic self. Perhaps you’re estranged from your authentic self altogether, you’re worried that life is passing you by, or you don’t think you have the resources to design your life on your terms. In this podcast, you’ll hear tips, tricks, and advice to better understand your purpose; get inspired to make that next big leap; overcome obstacles in your path; quiet your fears and take action in spite of them; find the transformation that fills your life with adventure, joy, and meaning.
