#22 What's My Passion? Ummmm, sorry, you have me confused for someone who *actually* has their life together

Don't feel bad if you don't know what your passion is. The truth is, most people really have NO IDEA. In today's video, we unpack why "passion" is probably the wrong question, especially if you're experiencing burnout (or a numbing of emotion). Instead, I offer a simpler solution: find every day projects with a clean beginning and end to give you joy. Hi, I'm Mandy, and I'm a writer and a career coach and I talk about how to bring more creativity into your life. Thank you so much for watching!
