Have you ever had the feeling that there has to be more life than this? I've had it for as long as I can remember, and it never left me.
If you're driven and have never been quite sure what's driving you, if you're very good at living and very, very bad at stopping, or if you've read the books and done the courses and some part of you still says "surely this can't be it", come in and take a seat.
In this first episode I tell you how I got here, including why I went to Costa Rica for two months and came home after one. But mostly I want to leave you with some things to look at in your own life.
What you'll take with you:
- Another way to think about being rich
- Why scarcity isn't only about money
- The two questions I asked when I finally stopped, and what they showed me about what was driving me
- Why inner strength sometimes looks like having no armour at all
- What freedom turned out to be once I had it
- Why I think laughing changes more than almost anything else we have, and how an existential crisis can turn out to be hunger
- Four questions to take into your week
You don't have to agree with any of it. Actually, please don't. Take what's useful and leave what isn't.
If something here made you curious, follow the show and stay a while. Episode two is already waiting for you.
Content note: this episode includes strong language, and I talk about my mother's death from cancer (from 01:35).
