Turning 40 with Reckless Abandon and Building a Life Outside the Mainstream
When she was in her 20s, Terre Short was about to buy a washer and dryer, but that felt like too much responsibility so she bought a ticket to the South Pacific instead. The ensuing “tumbles” around the world built her confidence for - years later - building a life with her husband and two kids that was far-removed from the mainstream. Homeschooling before it was mainstream. Splitting time between locations long before digital nomadism. Following their hearts and their dreams, kids in tow.

Turning 40 with Reckless Abandon and Building a Life Outside the Mainstream
Terre was fortunate that she and her husband had always worked together to support each other’s dreams. So, in their late 30s, they found themselves moving towards what she and her husband felt was right for them, which was homeschooling their two kids so they could split their time between California and Idaho with long breaks in New Zealand.
For others considering stepping off the beaten path, Terre advises to stick with it. “If you know in your heart that this experience will be good for them in the long run, then stick with it.”
Her kids are in their mid-20s now and building lives that suit themselves and sustain themselves.
Terre cautions that if you want your life to be different in five or 10 years, you must take control of your internal narrative and decide which stories no longer serve you. Then, take those stories that do serve you, elaborate on them and move in the direction of where you want to be.
