Next Chapter

I have the privilege of discussing impactful concepts with the best-selling author, Gay Hendricks.

The first concept is the "Upper Limit", which refers to our tendency to impose limits on ourselves, preventing us from achieving greater levels of success and abundance in our lives. By recognizing and overcoming these self-imposed limits, we can unleash our full potential and achieve greater things.

The second concept is the "Zone of Genius", which Gay believes is the purpose of our lives. It involves doing what we love and refining our skills to make a valuable contribution to the world. To find our true purpose, we need to challenge ourselves to discover our unique talents and passions.

Gay's words are truly inspiring and will leave you feeling charged and challenged to find your own purpose and pursue it with passion and determination.

Do you want to leave behind unwanted baggage that's holding you back from living your best life in your next chapter? Of course you do! I'm sharing three practical handles to help you distinguish between the non-negotiables and the baggage that should be left behind. I'm not asking you to shed everything; we'll leave the things that are integral to your identity and values but in order to have the margin to carry those things with you, you must first lose the heavy baggage that you've been carrying.

Tune in to practice self-reflection through thought-provoking questions. It's time to make decisions about what you need to let go of in order to move forward in life.

I was at a crossroads. Retired, starting my own businesses, but not truly living the post-career dream I expected. I wasn't doing the things that I genuinely enjoyed. This is when I started to wrestle with the concept, "when is enough, enough?"

Throughout this journey, I've found that "enough is enough" when it begins to erode your bandwidth for a happy life. Even once I retired, I was pushing the borders of my bandwidth instead of enjoying this season of life. I was living in my head instead of by my heart's desires.

One thing I learned is that you need to surround yourself with people that are willing to ask you probing questions that cause you to really think about your behavior and consider how your actions are affecting your life and happiness. You need a community that truly has your best interest at heart!

Consider this my invitation to you to think about where you are headed in your next chapter. I hope that my personal experiences can help you get there!

I have been sharing the story of Kim and my journey into our next chapter on this podcast, bits and pieces spread between various episodes. However, I recently had the opportunity to share my story in depth while being interviewed by my friend Chris Harder for his podcast. I feel that the way Chris structured the interview and crafted his questions allowed me to express my story in a relatable and clear manner.

Since the release of the episode, I have received overwhelmingly positive feedback. I wanted to share this with my listeners as it is the epitome of what I hope to achieve through this podcast - to create a deeper connection and understanding with my audience. I hope this episode will help you better understand my vision to help others reach their next chapter.

As you strive to reach the next step in your journey, you need to consider that the research shows true happiness lies in social connection and time with family, not the money you may be chasing.

Today I am discussing how to find happiness. Research shows that money does not contribute to happiness after a certain point and that social connection, time off and play are much more important than material possessions. American culture does not prioritize these activities and that this lack of prioritization is likely contributing to the lower reported levels of happiness in the US, despite being one of the wealthiest countries.

It is key when moving into your next chapter to truly understand what makes you happy. The topics discussed today should help you with this process.

He has shared this insight with others through a Ted Talk viewed over 15 million times - reminding us to choose our path based on the relationships it will build for ourselves and those around us. Money can offer comfort, but what truly matters most is creating something meaningful that we're passionate about.

The decisions you make today have the ability to lead to long-term joy on your unique path. Tune in to hear Adam's perspective on being in tune with your emotions and how he approaches decision-making in his own life which has led him to both success and fulfillment.

Navigating the Next Chapter of life is an exciting opportunity to explore your strengths and create a path that you are passionate about. As you enter your Next Chapter, the choice has to be made to continue utilizing your fluid intelligence or make the conscious effort to change to utilizing your crystallized intelligence.

In your younger years, prior to age 30, fluid intelligence reigns supreme: it allows you to think flexibly, solve new problems and be creative. However, around age 30, crystalized intelligence begins to take precedence - using a stock of knowledge that you have used in the past. This means instead of relying on innovation as much as before, you utilize your bank of knowledge to make decisions.

These decision-making frameworks are important as you move into your next chapter and will help guide you toward your correct path. I strongly recommend reading From Strength to Strength by Arthur Brooks to help you more deeply understand this concept as you work toward your next chapter.

Christopher Korey is living proof that by listening to the universe and following your gut, you can ultimately lead a more fulfilling life. After gaining traction with his fashion in his real estate dealings in NYC and starting an account on Instagram, Christopher had an opportunity to turn his passion into the next chapter of his life.

This next chapter gave Christopher the ability to be his authentic self and also do what he was good at and enjoyed. It is one of his beliefs that we can never truly know the endgame but should stick to following our passions when the universe offers up an unexpected path. He also firmly believes that even if you are not currently in a career that you're passionate about, the skills learned along the way will still be valuable when it comes time for you to pursue the next step in life.

This episode is full of great advice and inspiration for those looking to step into their next chapter but are currently working in a career that they may be good at, but are not passionate about.
