Resilience and Courage Through Story: Finding Your Mentor
About this episode
In an age of information overload, we need, more than ever, to find someone to help us make sense of it all. But there are self-proclaimed experts, life coaches, and just plain hucksters everywhere! What're we to do? Well, maybe we need to take a page out of Russian fairy tales. Just as Ivan the Prince found his frog princess in a swamp, our answers just might be found in the place we least expect...
In this episode, I talk about expert fatigue, our desire to optimize everything and how it might be impacting our lives negatively, and how stories teach us the proper way of working on ourselves so that when the mentor we need does show up, we're ready to listen.
