When Terri Trespicio was invited to do a TEDx Talk, she had no idea what subject she would speak on. Her talk now has over eight million views. Years later when she decided she wanted to write a book, she faced the same issue. She was told to include the ideas from her TEDx Talk, but she didn’t have a solid idea of the book’s overall theme or purpose. The first draft of her book looked very different from the book it is today, which Mel Robbins describes as “A. MUST. READ.”

In this episode of “Authors Who Lead,” I talk with Terri about her book, Unfollow Your Passion: How to Create a Life That Matters to You, and how to create a life you enjoy.

So many times we can get stuck in our heads about the action we need to take or we can turn to other people to wonder what we should do.

On this week’s episode of “Authors Who Lead,” I talk about this feeling of being stuck and give suggestions for you to work your way through it, including a meditation to follow.
