I Saw The Sign

In this minisode, host Maricella Herrera explores the emotional aftermath of completing the Chicago Marathon and discusses the 'post-marathon blues'—a period of feeling lost and empty after achieving a big goal. She reflects on how training for the marathon served as an excuse to avoid various life decisions and commitments. As she questions her future and the direction of her career, Maricella turns to the book 'The Alchemist' by Paolo Coelho for inspiration on finding one's life purpose. She shares her inner conflict about multiple job roles, particularly her involvement with a startup, and how a pivotal decision sparked a realization about self-trust. Ultimately, Maricella emphasizes the importance of tuning into one's intuition and emotions as a guide for future decisions, encouraging listeners to do the same.00:00 Introduction: Rethinking Life Choices01:03 Post-Marathon Blues04:05 The Alchemist and Personal Legends07:15 Struggling with Busyness and Overwhelm12:22 Deciding on the Startup16:55 Trusting Your Intuition25:13 Conclusion: Listening to Your Heart This is a public episode.
