You've probably been told to FOLLOW YOUR PASSION in order to find meaning, purpose, and joy in life.

But what if that's...just not it? What if passion isn't what STARTS the journeys worth taking at all?

IN THIS EPISODE WE DISCUSS:

• Imposter syndrome and how to "overcome" it (or maybe not?)

• What to follow instead How to find strength in our comfort zones
• The bts story behind Terri's life-changing TED Talk

Are you someone who wants to make big changes happen in the world, but sometimes  feel so overwhelmed with how to actually make that change HAPPEN? How do you take steps to make shift happen on a real level, in a real lasting and mindful way?

• how criticism and having a growth mindset can live side by side
• how you can match your intentions to your impact
• how to ensure that there's action and energy behind the things you're fighting for (because momentum can be fleeting)
• And more!!
