In this episode I am hanging out with my long time friend, Nicole A. Lew. Nicole is smart, funny, thoughtful, honest, animated, and someone who’s counsel I have sought and valued from my literal preteen years to now.

We talk about a number of different things. The main thing or main theme that she gets into is the concept of reimagination--what does it look like to reimagine everything in your life? To redefine who you are, what your purpose is, and what happiness or success means to you. She talks to me about the illuminating effect reading A New Earth by Eckhart Tolle had on her. How it’s helped her to remain in the present moment more often and how it’s quieted down her ego.

Nicole has had to change a lot of her previously held ideas about what her life should look like, the timeline of when things should happen, or specifically what things need to happen for her to be happy. Discussions like this make me happy because it gives me more of a permission to change the rules that I or other people thrust upon me. 

We hope you enjoy the episode and thanks for listening!
