Our careers often feel empty when we’re missing a key component to a healthy life: awe. A sense of the mysterious. That edge of understanding and comfort. When nothing inspires awe in our lives, we can begin to feel listless and like we’re just going through the motions. As we approach Scorpio season and the beginning of Nature’s death cycle, we’re invited to create more space for mystery in our lives. In this episode, we cover:

* Themes of mid-Autumn

* Samhain, an ancient pagan holiday on October 31st

* What “awe” is and why it’s a core need for humans

* How we can incorporate more mystery into our day to day work lives, no matter what we do
