Ep 134: What If Your Curiosity Knows Something You Don’t? | Sara Kobilka

Could anyone really narrow their passions down to one answer? And why do we assume they're supposed to? As kids, being interested in everything is a good thing. Playing the trumpet, joining the science club, trying theater, deciding to be a marine biologist on Tuesday and a novelist by Friday. Then the message changes. Pick a major, find your niche, stay in your lane. But what if some of us were never meant to? Today's guest, Sara Kobilka, calls herself a Renaissance woman. She's been a meteorologist, journalist, science educator, executive director, fitness instructor, career coach, and community builder, with probably a few more titles added since this conversation was recorded.This conversation is about what happens when that complexity stops being treated like a problem to solve. It covers the pressure to specialize, the grief of never having time for every curiosity, why not now doesn't mean not ever, and the freedom in being what Sara calls a walking Venn diagram. Maybe the goal was never landing on one thing. Maybe it's building a life big enough for everything that makes a person feel alive.Topics Covered:Why Sara chose Renaissance woman over multi-passionate, and where that identity took root in high school.The pressure inside higher education and specialized careers to go deeper, not wider.Grieving the things there's never enough time for, and thinking in seasons instead of one fixed identity.Small ways Sara fills her own cup, like a monthly choir drop-in or five minutes of exercise with an accountability group.Why multi-passionate people find each other, and how sharing resources became a kind of love language.The exhale that comes with dropping the pressure to fit into one box.Sara's Renaissance community and offerings for people finding their own golden thread.Connect with Sara!Website: https://renwomanconsulting.com/LinkedIn | Sara Kobilka: https://www.linkedin.com/in/sara-kobilka/LinkedIn | Renaissance Woman Consulting: https://www.linkedin.com/company/renaissance-woman-consultingLinkedIn | Connecting the Dots with The Renaissance People: https://www.linkedin.com/showcase/connecting-the-dots-with-the-renaissance-people/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/RenWomanConsultingInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/the_ren_womanBluesky: https://bsky.app/profile/renwoman.bsky.social YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@therenaissancewoman ______________________Contact French Kissing Life PodcastDM us at @shawnnarstiver on Instagram or FacebookConnect with Shawnna Stiver on LinkedInEmail us at [email protected] Until next time, muah! ______________________French Kissing Life is sponsored by Ampersand Copy and Content.
