Rise to Thrive Episode 11: Addicted to Knowing

Are you addicted to education? Do you get caught in the cycle of comparison and competition which drives you to pursue more certificates, credentials, or content? 

Perhaps, even now, you're thinking about going back to school, getting another degree, or finding a mentor or apprentice to help you deepen your knowledge. 

Our question in this episode is: What meaning does your education or knowledge give you? How does it inform your self-esteem, and how much weight do you allow it to carry? In what ways are your CV and your identity intertwined?

There are countless ways to learn the things we want to know in life. Hostesses Linda & Amelia both consider themselves lifelong learners, autodidacts, and willing students. BUT they also both agree that being addicted to knowing can come with a cost - constantly pursuing more, and sometimes putting others on a pedestal. 

In this week's episode, we explore: What is a healthy relationship with knowledge and learning? How can we stay committed to growth while still being willing to serve, teach, and succeed right where we are today?
