What is life anyway? What makes life good? What brings us alive? Who said we need a 5 year plan anyway? 

Today, I press record in a spontaneous moment of breaking patterns, unlearning perfection and tackle what's top of mind for me. 

Join me in this 7 minute podcast as I share a few seemingly mundane moments that 

Take aways: 

• How the pressure we put on ourselves to create a meaningful/perfect life suffocates us and robs us of what life is here to show us
• It's a big deal to be alive on this planet
• How our phones take us elsewhere, never fully here in the moment
• Be more awkward
• Compliment people more
• Pet more dogs who seem eager
• Relax into your life instead of trying to build an ideal life
• Spark conversation with strangers in life
• When you can, make eye contact with strangers - it makes a big difference
• In a society that stresses autonomy and control, we may not have as much control as we think
• Following the breadcrumbs help heighten attention to your needs and what the world is giving you
