Cultivating curiosity in midlife isn’t just nice to have; it’s the engine that powers your next chapter. In fact, curiosity is a key part of the very first step, Dream Big, in the Design Your Fabulous Next Chapter framework. When you stay curious, you stop living on autopilot and start intentionally designing your life again. You begin to notice new ideas, try new things, and rediscover interests you may have set aside years ago. Curiosity builds your momentum, boosts your confidence, and helps you see opportunities instead of obstacles. And the more curious you become, the clearer you get about what you truly want, making it much easier to create a next chapter that genuinely excites you.

As many of you know, I’m a total reading fanatic, which means whenever I travel, I make it a point to visit bookstores.

In this episode, I’m taking you along with me as we explore bookshops around the world. My hope is that this sparks your curiosity and inspires you to seek out experiences that take you on your own adventures, so you can rediscover more of who you are and who you’re becoming.
