About The Year Of The Opposite Blog & Podcast
Hi, I'm Travis Stoliker, the founder of The Year of the Opposite, a blog and podcast where I share my personal journey of transformation in the face of overwhelming grief and depression. At the age of 41, I lost three close friends within just five months, which sent me spiraling into a deep depression. Despite my somewhat successful career and seemingly great life, I struggled to find purpose and happiness.
Inspired by Admiral William H. McRaven's commencement speech and the Seinfeld episode, "The Opposite," I decided to make small changes in my life, starting with waking up early and making my bed every day. This small change snowballed into my decision to embrace a "year of the opposite," challenging myself to step out of my comfort zone and do the opposite of what I had done before.
Through this journey, I overcame depression, transformed my health, and discovered newfound confidence and purpose. With The Year of the Opposite blog and podcast, I have three primary goals:
Share the outcomes of my Year of The Opposite journey, detailing the process and the lessons learned.
Feature inspiring and uplifting stories that showcase Humans Being Awesome in my Uplift Weekly.
Present engaging video and audio podcast interviews with fascinating individuals discussing topics that will pique your interest.
I invite you to join me on this incredible journey as I share the insights, experiences, and research behind these life-altering changes. From weight loss to emotional healing, The Year of the Opposite offers inspiration, encouragement, and practical advice for anyone seeking to transform their life and overcome their own challenges. Discover the power of embracing the opposite with me.
