How to Stop Chasing and Start Attracting ft. Jessica Nabongo

#366: If you've ever wondered why some people seem to have opportunities fall into their lap, this conversation is for you.

Jessica Nabongo and I get into what luck really looks like when your life is in alignment, how to tell the difference between chasing something and letting it find you, and why getting clear on who you are might be the most powerful thing you can do for your career. She also shares what it's taken to protect her energy, sit with hard seasons, and show up as more than the one thing people know her for.

We talk about:

• Why the key to luck is increasing your risk tolerance
• Luck, alignment, and treating your life's work like an assignment
• Building a career where everything comes to you
• Protecting your energy online and knowing when to log off
• Being seen as more than the one thing people know you for
• What it took to create a cookbook with a recipe from every country in the world
