Mind Love • Modern Mindfulness to Think, Feel, and Live Well

Unlocking the Hidden Genius You Didn’t Know You Had with Betsy Wills and Alexandra Ellison • 385


Listen Later

In this episode, you'll learn:

·    Why traditional personality tests might be missing the most important part of who you are

·    How to identify your natural abilities (and why they're different from skills or interests)

·    The surprising connection between what you think are your biggest challenges and your unique genius


Have you ever wondered if there's an entirely different version of yourself that you never got to meet? Not in some parallel universe, but right here - a version of you with talents and abilities that got buried under years of well-meaning advice, standardized testing, and society's expectations?

 

I've spent the last decade obsessing over personal growth, taking every personality test imaginable, trying to understand why certain things felt effortless while others felt like pushing a boulder uphill. After interviewing hundreds of guests about finding their path, I thought I had a pretty good handle on who I was. But this interview turned everything I thought I knew about myself upside down.

 

Today our guests are Betsy Wills and Alexandra Ellison, co-authors of "Your Hidden Genius" and pioneers in revolutionizing how we understand human potential. They've helped millions of students and professionals unlock their innate talents through an innovative approach to aptitude testing that breaks free from traditional gender and cultural biases.

 

Also, if you’re already intrigued about figuring out more about yourself and what you’re here to do, that’s exactly what we’re doing in the Mind Love Collective this month. I’m also putting up the follow up call exclusively in the collective. Go to mindlove.com/join to access the community, the year of growth, and this podcast bonus.
