Rebecca Hughes on giving yourself permission to explore

Do you crave unexpected adventure in your life? Have you at times shied away from risk, in favour of being comfortable with the way you live, work and play?

Today’s episode with Women’s Adventure Expo co-founder Rebecca Hughes is sure to get you fired up and curious about how to bring adventure into your daily routine. In this episode, we discuss the two different types of adventure seekers. There’s the sporty, thrill-seeking adventurer who challenges herself physically and mentally, and there’s the “urban explorer” adventurer who’s curiosity leads to twists and turns in business and life.

Which one are you?

Listen in and hear why Rebecca believes all women should give themselves permission to explore, live bravely and surround themselves with a community of likeminded souls. 

Enjoy the show!
