So often, we get into modes of planning and goal-setting before we’ve even identified where it is we actually want to get to in the year ahead. In this episode, I share some concrete ways that you can create a vision statement for yourself that’s grounded in hope and optimism.

Specifically, we cover:

* The archetype of Sagittarius

* Why now’s not the time to start planning or setting goals

The late Autumn season reminds us to turn inward and open up to the incredible transformation we’re witnessing in the natural world. One of the most effective ways to transform is to interrogate the thoughts and beliefs that cause us suffering. In this episode, I discuss the top five myths I hear most often and offer new ways of thinking about your career. Some of the myths we cover include:

* The belief that everyone is in the role they deserve

* The belief that you can either have meaning or money, but not both

* The belief that a successful career has to be rooted in suffering and overwhelm

* The Autumnal Equinox and how to observe it

* How the concept of work, or labor, has shifted since we were hunter-gatherers

* The 3 reasons why wage labor is harmful

* How to have a meaningful impact in the midst of a broken system
