The Tailored Quill

We all want to have a positive impact during our lives, whether it be in our work or on our loved ones, but we all stress about HOW to make that impact and if we will be able to. In this episode, Taylor describes the simplest technique to have a big impact without the stress and overwhelm.

Psychological Freedom is the underlying goal driving anyone who works on their mental health or personal development. 

But most people think that once that goal is reached, their work is done.......and that is completely false.

This episode explains why that is not true, why psychological freedom is the necessary first step, and what mindset to take while you continue working on your mental health / psychology in order to be as successful and happy as possible.

After our family suffered such a tremendous loss earlier this year, I learned SO MUCH about death that I'd never needed to consider, including: how to proactively accept your own and how to support others in their process.  

DEATH is still such a taboo subject in western culture that my friend MICHAEL LEE - who cares about promoting a life lived with PURPOSE and MEANING as much I do - and I seek to demystify Death so that we can all live lighter lives filled with care and compassion.   

Michael is the co-founder and director of MEMENTO, a startup that creates concise legacy videos for families to have a tangible representation of a loved one's life experience. 

In Michael's words, "it offers an opportunity to learn from another's life and grow in our own ways".  In this deeply powerful episode, Michael and I open up very vulnerably about our real-life learnings on how to handle DEATH, the reason why LEGACY is important, and how you can live a life that you would be proud to pass on to your loved ones...
