In this thought-provoking conversation with Eric Zimmer, I joined The One You Feed—a podcast devoted to the pursuit of meaning and resilience—to unpack the inner and outer strategies that shape intentional living.
We explored the moments of struggle that led me to reimagine success and shift from a life of high achievement to one of deep purpose. From learning to confront systems of power, to navigating massive transitions, I shared the pivotal lessons that helped me break free of autopilot and move toward significance.
Key topics include:
Why intrinsic motivation is the hidden engine of lasting transformation
How to cultivate resilience through service, structure, and self-reflection
The role of values in rewriting your identity
Navigating the tension between external expectations and internal alignment
The science behind breaking self-sabotaging patterns
Why it matters:
This conversation is for anyone who feels stuck between who they are and who they could become. Eric and I dig into the deep work of choosing growth over comfort—and what it takes to unlock the version of yourself that’s waiting on the other side of intentional change.
