EP-195 THE POWER OF A SABBATICAL: Rediscovering Joy and Embracing Nature with Xan Stofko

The 10Adventures Podcast

In this episode, we sit down with Xan Stofko to explore what happens when you take a bold step away from a life that doesn’t feel right and give yourself permission to discover who you truly are. Xan shares her incredible journey, from a career in insurance to a life-changing sabbatical in New Zealand that opened the door to self-discovery, joy, and connection with nature.

We dive into how a working holiday visa became the launchpad for adventures like living off the grid, canoeing New Zealand’s rivers, and meditating for 10 days in complete silence. Xan also reflects on the transformative power of stepping out of your comfort zone, embracing the outdoors, and reconnecting with what truly matters. Join us for this inspiring conversation about courage, self-discovery, and finding joy in the unexpected.
