Choosing Freedom with Heather Parady

What does “figuring out” mean to you?We sometimes take ourselves so seriously in our search to figure out what our needs are and what our purpose in life is, that we often get stuck, not knowing where to go forward. Humans are the only species that roam the Earth with the power of choice, and that could be both a blessing and a curse.In today’s episode, I talk with Heather Parady about the power of taking action and choosing to get out and explore the world and play and connect with your inner child. She definitely knows a thing or two about this topic since she is a breathing example of a homeschooled girl that turned from an introvert with no friends, into an extrovert entrepreneur and podcast host.Heather believes that people who are successful at figuring things out are those who are continually moving forward and taking steps and understanding that even though something might not work, it will lead them to discover what the next step should be.So tune in, to learn that choosing to be mindful of what enters your mind and taking actions toward what you desire, can be real cultivators of happiness.Heather’s Happiness Hack:“Even though the circumstances are aligned, you still have to find another level of happiness, which is not what your job is or is not how much money you're making - it's that freedom and that lightness.
