E120 - Lessons from Aisha Makara: Color Outside the Lines
Send us a text
What if the real success in life isn't climbing ladders but creating something so authentic it feels like art? This question frames my profound conversation with Aisha, a remarkable artist and global nomad who has lived in over 60 countries and even had her artwork sent to space.
I first met Aisha years ago at a wellness retreat where I was speaking, and since then, I've watched in awe as she's lived one of the boldest, most authentic missions I've ever witnessed. From Lisbon to Miami and countless places between, she's transformed her life into a canvas filled with color, curiosity, and courage. Our conversation explores three transformative ideas that could reshape how you view success and authenticity.
First, we dive into how curiosity serves as the true gateway to growth. Aisha doesn't just travel to collect experiences – she immerses herself in different cultures to gain perspectives that deepen her self-understanding. This made me reflect: where have we stopped being curious in our own lives? The second revelation centers on bravery as a prerequisite for authenticity. As Aisha so eloquently puts it, anyone can decide to be an artist, but the real challenge lies in daring to live authentically when others question your choices. I share my own struggle with this when transitioning from strength conditioning to performance coaching, highlighting how difficult it can be to shed identities that no longer serve us. Finally, we explore the delicate balance between embracing struggle as a grounding force while never abandoning ambitious dreams – from pursuing art exhibitions to literally sending work into space.
This conversation perfectly aligns with what we teach in Prime Performance Coaching: just as resilience develops through challenge, authenticity emerges when we embrace risk. If you've been waiting for permission to live more boldly, consider this your sign. DM me your biggest takeaway or go back to the full episode and share your favorite part – I'd love to hear how you're choosing to create a life that feels like art.
