Hi friends, we talk a lot around here about being a genius about what matters...
about what doesn't, and most days that looks like pretty ordinary things, what's for dinner,
how we're spending our time, what we're saying yes and no, too.
“But every once in a while what matters isn't to task at all. It's a question that won't leave”
you alone. What am I doing with my life? Is this still working for me? Is it time for something to change? Those kinds of questions could feel a little disorienting. There's not really a system for them. They just ask you to pay attention and maybe be a little braver than you feel.
In seasons like that, I'm always grateful for voices that feel steady and honest,
“so I wanted to share a podcast you might want to ask your rotation.”
It's called Becoming You, hosted by Susie Welch. She's a three-time New York Times bestselling author and teaches it in my view,
and she's spent a long time studying how we make decisions and how we figure out what really matters.
But what I like is how she talks about those things in a way that feels human.
“If you're in the middle of a question that you can't quite answer yet,”
this might be a helpful voice to sit with you for a bit. You can find Becoming You, Susie Welch wherever you listen to podcasts, and we've got a little more from Susie for you right here. Are you the author of your life or the editor? It is the human condition for so many of us to end up in a life that we are not the authors of, that our parents or our teachers or our bosses or our culture have written the story for us,
and we are fitting ourselves into it. It does not have to be that way. Everyone's sorry, you're going to be an entrepreneur. I'm Susie Welch, hosted the podcast of The Coming You, where each week we come up with ways actionable ways where you are writing the narrative of your life. So happy every day. I realize that I have to figure out what I want to do in order to be successful,
that might not look like I thought it would for my whole childhood. This is your life. And I'm getting myself so much space and permission to just do it. I like literally what sitting on a meeting today at work. Like, oh, I'm so happy. This is such a great day. Listen to The Coming You, wherever you get your podcasts.
