We're often told to "follow our passion" if we want to live meaningful lives. But what if we don't have one? Or don't know what it is? Or have more than one? In this episode we talk about why "follow your passion" is bad advice and what you can do instead.

Here's what we know for sure: if you don't know where you are, you won't know how to get where you want to go. In this first episode of Go C*@ch Yourself, we talk about the first step to designing your life and give you the tools to help make that happen.

We are starting something new on the LYFL podcast and can't wait to tell you about it! Listen to find out!

What do you want to be when you grow up? Even as adults, we're still asking this question. But what if it's more about who we want to become in the process? In this episode we talk all about how to design a life that's truly yours.
