This podcast introduces a reflective assignment based on The Alchemist by Paulo Coelho, inviting listeners to explore self-discovery through the experiences of Santiago in Part One of the novel. Rather than focusing on literary analysis, the episode encourages personal reflection and awareness.

Listeners are guided to notice how Santiago’s dreams, questions, and inner nudges mirror their own moments of curiosity and uncertainty. The podcast emphasizes that self-discovery begins with noticing patterns, listening inwardly, and acknowledging the tension between comfort and change. Overall, the episode frames the assignment as a gentle invitation to reflect honestly and begin recognizing one’s own journey of growth.
