Just Walk in that Direction

from Life Notes from Chair 17 · host CH

Turning and walking in the direction of the thing we know we want to do. It sounds simple enough, right? And yet it can often be anything BUT simple. Not to mention all the times we try to talk ourselves OUT of doing it. In an episode that we're calling a convergence zone episode - a combination of inspiration and actual events taking place at once - join CH as she discusses recognizing the signs that nudge us in the direction we need to go, and leaning into opportunities that lead us there even when the whole of the path is not fully mapped out. It's all about NOT talking ourselves out of it, making a calculated decision, and keeping life balanced - and real - while in the pursuit.   Show Notes Parallel inspirations for this episode: The turn and walk in the direction phrase came from Jen Phillips' interview with Chef Lisa Brooks on The Podgress Report podcast, in the episode titled: 'Recipe for Reinvention: Chef Lisa Brooks' Journey from Burnout to Thriving'. The discussion of finding our purpose was featured during our Share the Chair episode with Courtney Andriunas last week. The full quote CH references is from actor Annabeth Gish: "But if you have something inside you that is so determined to get there, that's how you're going to get there." (Source: Duke University | Baldwin Scholars) The meteorlogical definition of Convergence Zone can be found on Wikipedia. The music festival CH mentions is Glastonbury, which is held for five days during most summers in Pilton, Somerset, England.
