Welcome to another solo episode of the Insight Podcast.

This short 5-minute episode is on the balancing act between reason and passion, your rational brain versus your desire for fun and spontaneity.

I touch on how this conflict might show up when you make big life decisions around career, relationships and getting fit.

I share the quote from Khalil Gibran that inspired this episode.

And then briefly talk about how we might get this balance right.

Enjoy!

- Other people's reactions to our disappointment

- The way we talk to ourselves when we feel let down

- The value of "little missions"
