085: Shannon Meyer - The Courage To Change Your Path

Live Immediately with mike campbell

How did you arrive to where you are today? How did you find yourself on this particular path? And is this path the one that you want to continue on?

My guest today, Shannon Meyer, asked herself similar questions when she started to feel like she was managing her life, but not living it. Shannon was going through the daily admin and coordination of juggling family life and working mum. While Shannon was succeeding at work, it was pulling her away from her family and she started to worry that her three kids would look back on their childhood and not have many experiences with their mother.

I guess the real questions Shannon was asking herself were—what is all this for, why am I doing what I am doing, and is this what I truly value?

Shannon decided to make some courageous changes in her life that enabled her to spend more time with her family. Shannon left her corporate job, her family sold everything they owned, and they decided to travel around North America in an Airstream.

But what I admire even more is how Shannon and her family decided to live after they got off the road.

They opted for the smaller house, with a smaller mortgage, less rooms, and less possessions. They worried less about what other people thought and less comparisons. This gave them more time to spend as a family, more connection, and more experiences.

You have to ask yourself the questions to create change. Sometimes something crazy like a family adventure is a small part of the solution, but the change you create to your daily life will have the greatest impact.

I hope you enjoy x
