Episode notes
Follow Curiosity
- Follow your curiosity, a gentler impulse than passion, if you lack a clear passion.
- This allows for exploration and a fulfilling "patchwork life."
Subtle Invitations
- Invitations for transformation are often missed because people seek grand signs instead of subtle cues.
- Curiosity involves noticing small nudges and following breadcrumb trails of interest.

- Fear manifests in various disguises, hindering people's progress.
- Recognizing these disguises (apathy, cynicism, etc.) is key to overcoming fear.
