My Speaking Topics:
In this powerful and inspiring talk, Becky unpacks the science-backed truth that travel is one of the most effective ways to keep the aging brain agile, creative, and resilient. Drawing on her personal story of transformation—from grieving mother to global wanderer to late-in-life French learner—Becky blends cutting-edge neuroscience with lived experience to demonstrate how long-term travel builds cognitive strength.
You’ll learn how new environments activate multiple areas of the brain, why anticipation is a form of dopamine therapy, and how challenges like navigation, budgeting, and even ordering coffee in a new language fuel neural growth. With humour and humility, Becky reveals why travel is a powerful form of “active learning,” and how even small, local adventures can spark mental rejuvenation.
Whether you’re curious about rewiring your mind or already planning your next journey, this talk will leave you with practical insights—and a deep belief in your brain’s lifelong capacity to change.
Why I Traded a Home for a Carry-On Suitcase: Finding Freedom in Letting Go
In this deeply personal and inspiring talk, Becky shares how letting go of a home—and nearly everything she owned—led to a life of greater freedom, vitality, and joy. After profound loss and a radical shift in priorities, Becky downsized from a four-bedroom house to a one-bedroom apartment to a single suitcase, discovering in the process that owning less made space for living more.
This talk explores the emotional, spiritual, and practical journey of simplifying—not just possessions, but expectations and outdated stories. With warmth and honesty, Becky invites women 55+ to consider what’s truly essential as they enter the second half of life.
She makes the case that downsizing isn’t about deprivation, but about clearing space to rediscover purpose, reconnect with vitality, and live with more curiosity and intention.
Attendees will walk away with:
- A mindset shift: seeing simplicity as a path to joy and renewal
- Practical tools for paring down and packing light—literally and emotionally
- Insight into how letting go can reignite freedom, clarity, and a sense of adventure
Becky’s mantra, “Less is more,” challenges cultural norms and offers a liberating new path forward.
In this inspiring talk, bestselling author and solo travel coach Becky Livingston invites women 55+—especially those feeling stuck—to challenge the cultural narrative that life should slow down with age and instead rediscover their sense of purpose through solo travel. Drawing from her personal story and travel experience, she shows how brave, unconventional choices—like long-term solo travel—can reignite purpose, joy, and vitality.
A transformational talk for women 55+ Becky shares how long-term, slow travel isn’t just possible—it’s a powerful path to renewal and reconnection.
This talk empowers women to:
- Reframe aging as an opportunity for reinvention
- Shift from a fixed mindset to a growth mindset
- Embrace long-term, low-budget travel as a tool for transformation
- Understand how novelty and challenge support cognitive and emotional renewal
- Listen to the inner voice whispering, “There’s more…”
Because getting older doesn’t mean we’re done—it means there’s a next act, and we get to write it.
