Show Notes
Today is my birthday and I'm turning 32 seasoned, shea butter moist years of age. Every year during my birthday, I take the time to reflect on the past year, what I've learned, and how the hell I have survived one more glorious year on this rock revolving around the sun. From the age of 31 to 32 I took some of the biggest risks of my life - leaving my full time job, building my own company, creating and selling my ideas, speaking publicly on various stages, launching a podcast and more. In honor of this immense amount of risk and change I take this episode of the podcast to talk about the key things that helped me do the things that absolutely scared the shit out of me during this time, including: + the power of self-reflective writing to rewrite your fears, and uncover your purpose + why you should chase your curiosity to increase your happiness and get clarity when you're not sure what to do next + why your pain - especially if you're experiencing pains at your job - can be used as motivation towards your goals + why making a plan is your fastest way to get out of a rut Take a listen, and let's celebrate one more year in the books before this new decade of 2020 is upon us!
