What happens when you stop waiting until you feel ready and finally try the thing you cannot stop thinking about? On Curious Enough to Try, Stephanie Cully brings the perspective of an entrepreneur, career changer, hockey mom, and former hockey team co-manager to conversations with people who followed their curiosity and built something new. From unconventional businesses and career pivots to creating with AI, travel, parenting, and navigating perimenopause, the show explores the experiences that shape what we want next. These are honest conversations about where ideas begin, what it takes to act on them, and what happens when life does not follow the plan. Because you do not need to have everything figured out to begin. Sometimes, you just need to be curious enough to try.

    17: When everyone has an opinion about your idea

    The second you tell someone about something you’re thinking about doing, people have opinions. In this episode, I’m talking about what happens when an idea leaves your head and suddenly everyone else gets a say. Some feedback is useful. Some of it can show you something you haven’t considered. And some of it has a lot more to do with what someone else would choose or what scares them than what’s actually right for you. We’ll talk about how to figure out whose feedback deserves more weight, why support and useful feedback aren’t always the same thing, and why you might have to let people be confused by what you’re doing for a while. Everybody is allowed to have an opinion, but not everybody gets a vote.

    16: Maybe jealousy is trying to tell you something

    What if jealousy isn’t something you need to feel guilty about? What if it’s actually trying to show you something you want? In this episode, I’m talking about those moments when someone else’s success, career change, business, trip, or big idea hits a little harder than expected. Sometimes we don’t actually want what they have. We want the freedom, creativity, connection, adventure, recognition, or courage we see underneath it. I also share some of the small ways I’ve been adding more newness to my own life, from trying new coffee shops and meeting new people to saying yes to experiences that get me outside my normal routine. Maybe you don’t need to change your entire life. Maybe you just need to pay attention to what keeps getting your attention.

    15: Is it too late to do something different?

    Have you ever thought about changing careers, starting a business, or trying something completely new, only to wonder if you've already invested too much time in what you're doing now? When you've spent 15 or 20 years building a career, getting good at something, and creating a life that works, the idea of starting over can feel overwhelming. But what if you're not actually starting from scratch? In this episode of Curious Enough to Try, I'm sharing what I've been learning as I explore new things, including building apps with AI, and how I've realized that so much of what I already know is helping me along the way. We'll talk about the skills we pick up through our careers, parenting, and everyday life, why even the things that didn't work out count as valuable experience, and how trying something different doesn't mean abandoning everything you've worked for. Whether you're considering a career change in your 40s or 50s, thinking about starting a business, or simply curious about what else you might enjoy, this episode is a reminder that you don't have to have your next chapter figured out before you explore it. You might be a beginner at something new, but you're bringing a whole lot of experience with you. Want more support?

    14: Do you actually want it, or do you just like the idea of it?

    It’s easy to want the finished version of something. The business. The podcast. The promotion. The book. The new career. But do you actually want what it takes to get there? In this episode, I’m talking about the difference between wanting something and liking the idea of it, how much outside validation can affect how we feel about what we’re doing, and why actually trying something will teach you more than thinking about it ever will. Because sometimes you try something and realize you want it even more. Sometimes you realize you want a different version of it. And sometimes you finally admit you never really wanted it at all.

    13: I started. Now I'm second-guessing everything.

    Starting something new is exciting. Continuing when the excitement wears off? That’s a different story. This week, one simple question about my business sent me straight into self-doubt. Will people actually pay for this? At the same time, I found myself decorating a peacock chair for my sister’s bridal shower with absolutely no idea what I was doing. I realized how differently we approach trying something new when we don’t feel like the outcome says something about us. In this episode, I’m talking about what happens after you start, when doubt creeps in, other people’s questions get in your head, and you don’t know yet if what you’re doing is actually going to work. Maybe you don’t need to know yet. Maybe you just need to try the next thing and see what happens. Ready to stop overthinking something you want to do?

    12: What If You Don't Know What You Want Next

    What if you know you want something different, but you have absolutely no idea what that is? In this episode, I’m talking about why “I don’t know” doesn’t mean you’re lost, why the things that catch your attention might be giving you clues, and how to stop putting so much pressure on yourself to have the next five years figured out. Sometimes you don’t need an answer yet. You need to start paying attention to what makes you interested, curious, or excited again. Ready to start something you’ve been putting off?

    11: Starting Before You Know Where It's Going

    What’s the thing you keep saying you want to do but haven’t actually tried? In this episode, I’m talking about why we turn ideas into huge decisions before we’ve even started, how preparation can quietly become procrastination, and why trying something small can give you more clarity than thinking about it for another six months. You don’t need to know if it will work. You just need to get close enough to find out. Ready to start the thing you’ve been putting off?
