Something Even Better
144 episodes - English - Latest episode: over 1 year ago -Here’s what no one tells you about creating a meaningful life and career: it’s never as straightforward as it seems.
A great life means following the breadcrumbs of what you love, staying curious, and being willing to fail, looking a little flaky, and staying true to yourself -- even when it all feels a little bit scary.
Because when you’re brave enough to let go of old dreams and what’s no longer aligned, you make room for something even better.
