About this episode

This episode challenges listeners to reclaim their curiosity and engage in intentional reading amidst the distractions of modern life.

Right now, there's a constant battle going on for your attention. Shortform content, hidden advertisements, buy this, buy that, buy, buy, BUY! It can be hard to take back control, especially when you spend all your downtime doomscrolling to recover from your uptime, which likely includes a burnout-inducing amount of work and social interaction. When was the last time you followed your bliss? Not just being influenced to try a trendy new Pilates class or getting your government-mandated sweet treat, but truly listening to yourself and your interests and learning, really learning about something of interest to you? Do you even know yourself well enough to understand your interests? Often, we view reading as tedious, time-consuming, and perhaps even boring, but if you read with intention, you gain new insights into your life and desires. This "winter arc," I challenge you to read. Even if it's just one book. I challenge you to read something of genuine and sincere interest to you. Read it slowly and savor it, take note of key words and things that stand out to you. Fall in love with the topic or genre and go crazy reading more and more. It's up to you, but you must choose something…
