In Part 1 of this conversation, Karena welcomes back author and mentor Joshua Medcalf alongside her son Christian for an honest discussion about following your inner compass rather than the path laid out by expectation. Christian reflects on how Joshua’s work helped him step away from a traditional trajectory and choose a direction rooted in purpose, healing, and self-directed learning.Joshua shares his philosophy on learning from lived experience rather than instruction alone, the importance of seeking out true experts in the territory, and why forging a nontraditional path often comes with resistance. Together, they explore themes of intuition, rebellion, discipline, competence, and leadership, offering a grounded look at what it means to build a life guided by wisdom, responsibility, and the courage to think independently.👉 Subscribe to my YouTube channel and watch more episodes in the podcast playlist!👉 Follow on Spotify and Apple Podcasts so you never miss an episode!
