What does it look like to build a life rooted in family, adventure, and an unshakeable belief that the world is meant to be explored? This week's guest, Lisa Stanworth, is living proof that the two don't have to be in conflict.

Lisa is a Salt Lake City-based mom of five, host of the Choose Your Happy Place podcast, and a lifelong adventurer whose travels have taken her from the mountains of Utah to the beaches of Hawaii, and all the way to Japan, Thailand, and Italy. A Brigham Young University graduate with a degree in child development, Lisa brings a thoughtful, family-centered lens to everything she does, including how she moves through the world.

In this episode, Lisa shares what nearly two decades of marriage and motherhood have taught her about saying yes to new experiences, how she navigates travel with a big family, and why stepping outside your comfort zone is one of the greatest gifts you can give yourself and your children. She also dishes on some of her most unforgettable bucket list moments, including swimming with whale sharks.

Whether you're a seasoned traveler or someone still dreaming of your first big trip, Lisa's warmth, humor, and passion will leave you ready to book the flight.
