In this final episode of the month (and “season” - see below), hosts Alan Vukas and Michelle Wadleigh have an enlightening conversation around passion, purpose, and living authentically.

Key Points:

* How to recognize what you're truly passionate about in life? Passion is often found in activities where you lose track of time because you're so engaged and fulfilled.

* The importance of untangling passion from profit and progress. Passion has an innate purpose even if it's not financially profitable.

* Embracing your passion allows you to give others permission to be bold and pursue their interests too.

* Overcoming limitations, fears, and the "glass ceiling" that holds many people back from fully living their purpose. The only true limits are the ones we place on ourselves.

* Valuable teachings from Emerson on expressing your convictions and living boldly. Our authentic self is waiting to be expressed.

* The role of spiritual practices in building self-love and compassion to move beyond suffering. Suffering becomes unnecessary when you believe in yourself.

* Seizing each day and making space for your interests and curiosity. Life is about navigating distractions to live passionately.

We all have more potential waiting to be unlocked. The world needs your unique gifts and talents.

Dear Listeners & Friends,

This episode of the Living Out Loud Show is our final show, at least for now.

Michelle and I want to take a moment to express our deepest gratitude for your support and engagement over the past several months. It has been a privilege and joy to connect with you each week, diving into conversations that are close to our hearts.

Your participation and insights not only enriched our conversations but also inspired us in many ways. We hope that you've found as much value in these episodes as we had in creating them. This may be our final episode, but it's certainly not the end of our journey together.

While we take a brief hiatus from this show to recharge and plan for what's next, and upcoming, we encourage you to continue exploring your passions and unlocking your potential.

Be sure to follow us on social media (our links below) for updates on future episodes, projects, and other exciting ventures that are emerging from us exploring our passions and living out loud.

Until then, thank you for being an essential part of our community. We look forward to connecting with you again soon.
