Rana Chauhan and Erin on Eliminating Distraction and Storing Moments of Joy

Wouldn’t it be incredible to have a purpose as heroic as that of Manish Raizada? However, the reality is that the world would be a boring place if we all had exactly the same purpose. We each have our own unique purpose and that is our gift to the world. But how do you uncover your purpose? Manish discusses many of the probing questions he’s found successful in helping people discover their unique gift. In his experience, this life-changing reflection takes very little time at all!

In this episode, I get the chance to talk with Sarah McComb-Turbitt about her transition from scientist to artist, what she’s learned along her journey and the specific steps she takes to create her amazing artwork. One theme that comes out in our conversation is finding balance in healthy tensions. For example, balancing the drive to be productive with the mindset of staying present, or balancing deliberate planning with being flexible. Sarah shares an experience that taught her how to move away from a state of perfectionism in her approach to painting and set some boundaries around time. We also cover topics related to entrepreneurship and motherhood.

Get ready for some major “ah-ha” moments! My guest this week is the absolutely incredible Tom Benson. Tom has led a breathtaking life of adventure, while all the while knowing exactly what fear is. He teaches us not to be “fearless”, but rather to simply Fear Less. In our conversation, we also dig into understanding play, why it’s important and how the opportunities for play show up in daily living. We explore mindfulness and meditation. We cover nature and solitude. And we tease apart passion and purpose.
