In this inspiring and imaginative episode of The Thought SNOB Podcast, Paula Swope — Author, Speaker, and Chopra-Certified Life Coach — invites listeners to explore one of her favorite tools for self-discovery: The Imaginary Careers Exercise. Through a blend of science, spirituality, and play, Paula guides her audience to write down five dream careers — no limits, no logic — and then “act out” one of them to meet the hidden aspects of themselves that have been waiting for permission to emerge.
Drawing from her own experience of embodying a psychic during a coaching call, Paula shares how this playful practice unlocked new dimensions of intuition and confidence. Backed by research published in Nature Neuroscience (2019), she explains how imagination and role experimentation activate creative brain regions associated with emotional intelligence and problem-solving.
This episode is a reminder that logic alone won’t manifest your dream life — curiosity and courage will. Paula encourages listeners to explore who they might become if they stopped filtering their potential and started playing with possibilities.
