Your social media feed is filled with the curated lives of a bunch of strangers who you "follow" for no obvious reason. They are better-looking than you, their lunch looks tastier, their prose is so witty. Wow, what a life. But is it real? Probably not. On an average day, most of us feel a combination of overwhelm, exhaustion, silliness, joy, loss, fear, anxiety, and depression. For a few wonderful moments, we get lost in our work or family lives, we get sucked into an inspiring story or enchanted by a new idea. And then our stomach hurts and tomorrow's responsibilities begin to suck away the momentary peace of today.

Real life is a big, sloppy soup of emotions and the challenge is this: How do you find your authentic self amidst all that? Who are you really and what drives you? How can you cut through the Starbucks and puppies selfies to figure out what you're supposed to be doing with yourself in this one precious life you have? My guest on this week's podcast has some ideas.

Listen & Learn:

• Why we give ourselves what we feel we deserve
• Why clarity and purpose can cause you uneasiness (at first)
• How to use isolated dreaming to figure yourself out
• What to do when you know only what you don't want
