048: You Find What You're Looking For


Listen Later

What if the way you experience your life isn't determined by your circumstances, but by what you're paying attention to?

In this conversation, Jillian and Meg explore the Reticular Activating System (RAS), the brain's natural filtering system that determines what reaches our conscious awareness. While we can't control everything that happens to us, we can influence what our minds learn to notice.

Together, they unpack how our beliefs shape the way we experience the world. If we're constantly looking for evidence that we're not enough, we'll find it. If we're looking for opportunities, connection, gratitude, and abundance, we'll begin noticing those too. Not because they suddenly appeared, but because they were there all along.

Through stories about parenting, business, personal growth, and navigating life's challenges, Jillian and Meg discuss the power of shifting from unconscious defaults to intentional awareness. They also explore acceptance, trust, and the difference between pain and suffering, reminding us that while hardship is inevitable, how we experience it is often within our influence.

Ultimately, this episode is an invitation to become intentional with the lens through which you experience your life because you truly do find what you're looking for.
