In this episode of The Bold Route Podcast, I sit down with Adair — a full-time working mom who recently did something many of us talk about… but don’t always follow through on.

She finally said yes to a dream she’s been holding onto for over 20 years — and now, she’s a published author.

What makes her story so powerful is that this wasn’t a new idea or a sudden spark of motivation. This was something that stayed with her through different seasons of life, responsibilities, and everything that comes with being a mom and balancing a full life.

In this conversation, we talk about what it looks like to say yes to something that’s been on your heart for a long time — even when it feels scary, uncertain, or inconvenient.

Adair shares about:

  •  What she took away from the Vision on Purpose workshop 
  •  Her word of the year: courage, and how it’s already shaping her decisions 
  •  Balancing work, motherhood, and making space for something meaningful 
  •  The real process of writing a book — the highs, the challenges, and everything in between 
  •  What it means to live boldly in this season of life 

We also talk about the importance of not letting go of the things that matter — even if they take time.

And if you need the reminder:
 Dreams don’t expire.

They might pause. They might sit quietly for a while.
 But they’re still there — waiting for you to say yes.

📖 About Adair’s Book

Following the death of his father, Keagan Larsson moves to Japan with his mother and younger sister, expecting a fresh start — but instead finds himself pulled into an entirely different world, one ruled by dragons.

Now faced with a leadership role he never asked for, Keagan must navigate a kingdom filled with danger, temptation, and growing darkness. As the world around him begins to unravel, he is forced to make a choice:

Will he let history repeat itself… or carve out his own destiny?
