Feeling the wanderlust as you scroll through social media, watching everyone jet off to European or Caribbean adventures this summer? Stuck at home due to job or money constraints and craving some excitement?
We’ve got just the solution for you! Check out Mel Robbins’ Podcast Episode 188: “5 Fun Ideas to Shake Up Your Life & Get Out of a Rut”!
In this lively and inspiring episode, Mel guides you through a simple game to shake up your life. By answering five prompts, you’ll uncover different ways to experience your own town and find places around you that you’ve never explored, never opened the door to, or always passed by but never ventured down.
Inspired by Mel’s insights, Kathy wanted to share her family’s beloved #TryItTuesday tradition. Every Tuesday, they find a new park, explore different parts of town, try new activities, or eat at a restaurant they’ve never been to. It’s all about breaking the routine and fully experiencing the richness of our local area.
Kathy’s adventurous spirit led her to make this an official family challenge in 2021, and they’ve been having a blast ever since! Here are a few photos from their adventures together!

This summer, Kathy’s adventure list includes:
- Attending a Magic Mansion concert
- Completing the Shore Path around Lake Geneva
- Watching a sailboat race on Pewaukee Lake
Mel’s episode reminds us that you don’t need to go on vacation to escape your day-to-day life. When you have something to look forward to, it automatically boosts your mood and energy. So, don’t miss out! Listen to Mel’s podcast, start playing the “Never Been There, Never Done That” game, create your own adventure list, and let’s get exploring!
