Curate the Future

We want a change, we want to quit, but we also feel overwhelmed or scared by them at the same time. Let's chat about how to look at these in a new light and how to manage the conflicting feelings we have about them that make us hesitate to leave a situation that isn't working and pursue what we want instead.

Janine Wirth shares how she came to the decision to change paths after a successful sales career. She talks about how to identify what we want and how to know who we are when the little everyday traumas we all experience have blocked us from clarity.

Most of us are trying to find clarity about what business or path to pursue by thinking it over endlessly (which is normal!) but it usually lands us in analysis paralysis. Here's a quick intro to using a Design Thinking approach to getting clarity. 

Rachael McBay and her family were on track to live the life they had been striving for, when unexpected events took her on a new path and eventually to starting her own web design business. Rachael shares about the major identity shift that came with transitioning from her corporate career to striking out on her own.

We all want to know what are passions and purpose are, but it can all feel pretty elusive for many people. It might be that we need to think about it differently. In this episode I cover the 4 myths I see most often that keep us stuck, and the truths about it that will take the pressure off.

On this episode we’re chatting with Sarah Yasukochi, who went from a marketing career in big corporate to starting two businesses. She shares about letting go of control to discover her next chapter at 40, and the roles of self-trust and trusting in the process. 

As more of us seek meaning and fulfillment in our work lives, we are trying to "find" our passion, our purpose, our callings. But what if the "finding" approach is tying us into existential knots because we're treating our purpose like a needle in a haystack? It's time for a new paradigm. It's time to create your path and purpose, not find them. This concept is the foundation of the podcast. It reflects real life and will show you that you don't need to find anything - you'll create it all as you go.

Welcome to Curate the Future! In this quick intro, Sumayya shares the 3 things that helped her go from stuck to professionally happy, and how that has all become the basis of her coaching work today and for this podcast. After years of trying to "find" her passion and purpose, like so many others, she came to believe that these are created, not found, and that there are beliefs and patterns keeping us from going for what we really want: new careers and businesses with success on our terms. It's time for a new paradigm, and she's on a mission to help as many multi-passionates as possible forge their own path with passion and purpose.
