How overachievers shoot themselves in the foot with their careers, and what we can do about it | Ep 124

How in touch are you with your curiosity? How much do you listen to it and let it guide you? In life, but especially in your work?

Like many of you listening, I spent years in work and careers that I did out of obligation. A tried and true under fulfilled overachiever (who this book was made for), I moved towards anything and everything that looked good on paper. Many of us stay there — both out of necessity (I mean, we have to earn an income), but also because we get really stuck. We don't know where else to turn. We're encouraged to "find our passion," or consider what we really want to do, but that tends to get us nowhere.

Today's guest is a beloved return one, Megan Hellerer, because her new amazing book (have read it, can vouch) is out and I couldn't be more excited. And I'm giving away two copies to listeners, give a listen to learn how you can access!

In today's episode we're digging into:

• The power of following our curiosity and why most of us don't
• How when we stop trying to control and predict the future — new opportunities emerge
• How success is about finding what's true for you, versus what's "right"
• How to move towards what's "light and right," what makes you feel warm and like yourself, versus cold and hard.
