For storyteller and journalist Shelby Stanger, achieving wild ideas gives her a boost of confidence and courage that lasts for decades. Her latest wild idea? Releasing her first book, Will to Wild: Adventures Great and Small to Change Your Life, and giving her first TEDx talk the same week. I sat down with Shelby to talk about hosting Wild Ideas Worth Living podcast, her experience finally putting pen to paper after years of longing to write, and how she prepared for her talk.
Shelby delves into her transformative process of navigating anger and resentment to arrive at acceptance and self-love. We also explore how she gracefully adjusted to an autoimmune condition, discovering new sources of joy along the way. Plus, learn about the beauty of giving yourself grace at the end of the finish line.
Here are a few key takeaways:
