We're often told to "find our passion" but what does that even mean? Using Dr. Amy Wrzesniewski's 3 career orientations, I talk about the different ways we can approach our work, and how we can move towards a great sense of personal meaning in what we do.

I mention being curious, and Elizabeth Gilbert's excellent talk on this, The Flight of the Hummingbird. You can find that here: http://www.oprah.com/video_embed.html?article_id=59798

I also talk of discovery in the bookstore exercise suggested in Martha Beck's audible workshop lecture series. You can find that here: Follow Your North Star.

Wow. This episode with Kate actually woke me up big time. As I prepped for it I started to wonder if I was using the excuse – I just don’t have enough time – to postpone working on the goals that mattered most to me. This discussion with Kate challenged me to look closer at my own life to see why I was using that excuse. What was the real block that was holding me back.

So spoiler alert – this doesn’t sound like a therapy session, it sounds like an interview…but it is absolutely the beginnings of me having a personal breakthrough. I am so very grateful for Kate Crocco!

In this episode we’re talking about confronting the excuses that are keeping you stuck. We deep-dive into that pesky excuse of “If only I had enough time” and look at it in detail. We also discuss:

• The power of looking at the unconscious beliefs behind your excuses
• How we often have to be the cheerleader of our own dreams
• How it’s important to look at what we are prioritizing
• and how Consistency is the key to confidence

The book she mentions in the podcast as a favorite read is: The Power of Broke by Daymond John

How can we choose courage over comfort more often? And why would we want to?

This episode I define courage, talk through why you might want it, discuss how you can live courageous and the hacks that it takes, and also touch on what to do when you have to pick yourself back up. It has specific action points to help you truly live with more courage.

I share a personal note about a dear friend of mine - Nora Guise - at the end of the podcast interview. Nora is a 6-year old fighting for her life and has been accepted into a ground-breaking immunotherapy trial in Houston where they are using CAR-T therapy on a solid tumor cancer. This is the very edge of current cancer treatment. Nora is advancing medicine. This final note some people may find triggering so I want to make it explicit here. If you would like to support Nora and her family, here is the link: Join Nora's Army

If you have any trouble, you can search "Nora Guise givealittle" and her donation page will pop up.

Thank you so much in advance.
