Seek The Joy Podcast

What fuels you?

What energizes you?

What gets your engine moving?

What is the motivation that gets you up in the morning?

What is the fire that gets you to create, to play, to work, to be?

What is the fuel that fuels your engine?

Up until a conversation that I had yesterday, these questions weren’t something that I’ve spent a lot of time thinking about. The truth is, if it weren’t for this conversation I don’t know if I would have ever thought about this.

In this week’s bonus episode I share what has been fueling my engine and what I’m now consciously choosing to fuel me instead. I also talk about the impact a conversation about all of this had on me and the challenge I was given (and it’s the same challenge I’m giving you!)

Tune into this week's bonus episode and then join the conversation on our Instagram page here and make sure to check out the show notes here
