We’ve all felt it…That “pit in your stomach” the moment you realize you’re actually doing the thing that scares you. For Laurie, it was snorkeling in Belize. 🏝️🐚In this unfiltered reality of solo travel, Laurie admits she almost let her fear win. She called herself a “weenie” and nearly stayed on the boat. But she did something most people don’t: she said her fear out loud to her Explorer Chick guide, @theblondecoyote And that’s where the magic happened ⭐️Women’s adventure travel isn’t about being fearless. It’s about finding a sisterhood that doesn’t judge you when you’re terrified. It’s about trading “I can’t” for “I’m doing it scared.” Because, as Laurie discovered, the “whole new world” waiting under the waves of the Belize Barrier Reef is worth every nervous tear 🌊Send this to a friend who needs to hear that “doing it scared” is still a total win, and let’s give some love to Laurie in the comments 💖 #ecinherwords #doingitscared #womensadventure #womenstravel #womenwhotravel
