Show Notes
When I left oil and gas – or rather, when the door slammed behind me – I thought I needed a plan immediately. Instead, I discovered something far more valuable: the power of following small sparks of curiosity.
In this episode, I share why curiosity became my compass during one of the foggiest periods of my life, and how it can become yours too.
What I Cover:
- How curiosity literally rewires your brain for learning and adaptation
- Why following random interests feels unproductive but creates the path forward
- The science behind curiosity as a tool for overcoming fear and paralysis
- Simple questions I used (and still use) to identify what truly draws me in
My Key Message: When everything feels uncertain, give yourself permission to not know the whole path. Just get curious about the next step.
