#129 Looking to rebel a bit? Bucket List Ideas -"Cheater" Version

In this fun and slightly rebellious episode of the Everyday Bucket List podcast, we talk about ways to “cheat” your way through your bucket list—in the best way possible. Think shortcuts, guilty pleasures, and permission to break the so-called rules.

We cover:

• The Joy of Taking Bucket List Shortcuts

• Guilty Pleasures That Totally Count

• Easy Wins That Still Feel Like Adventures

This isn’t about skydiving or climbing Everest—it’s about sneaking in a cheat meal, turning your daily routine into something special, or enjoying a spontaneous moment of indulgence. It’s about finding ways to check off your bucket list without overhauling your whole life, but still feeling like you’re doing something memorable and fun.

We chat about 8 ideas that bring joy with minimal effort, like:

• Exploring an international food market

• Having a “cheat meal” guilt-free

• Staying at an Inn close to home but treating it like a getaway

• Indulging in fun without overthinking it

Whether you prefer to do big things or you're looking for ways to squeeze some fun into your everyday life, this episode is your permission slip to do what feels good and make your bucket list your own.
