E27. Breaking Into the Chocolate Factory (or Hogwarts, If You Prefer)
About this episode
Are you secretly waiting for your own golden ticket or letter from Hogwarts that will show you, once and for all, the path of your destiny? Many of us spend our lives hoping that we'll be chosen somehow, and that it will change everything. That was me, until I realized that no one is going to choose me. I was going to have to do it myself. Learning how to choose yourself can change everything, but many of us struggle to advocate for ourselves like that because we either don't believe we have the right or authority to do so, or we fear being a tall poppy that gets cut. In this episode I talk about why it's essential we learn how to choose ourselves, and how all of us have a potential for greatness that we ourselves must recognize first. You'll hear about how being a "seeker" amplifies this quest for a singular destiny, and why seekers are particularly prone to that kind of existential disappointment in life that many of you may be familiar with. This is a tough topic but it needs to be explored, and I'm excited about this episode!
