    #274 - RADICALLY CONTENT: BEING SATISFIED IN AN ENDLESSLY DISSATISFIED WORLD, with Jamie Varon

    Welcome to another inspiring episode 💛
    Do leave us a review to let me know how our pods are helping you...
    Today I sit down for a meaningful discussion with the inspiring Jamie Varon. A bestselling author, designer, and creative consultant, who joins us to discuss her transformative book, "Radically Content: How to be Satisfied in an Endlessly Dissatisfied World."
    It's a provocative title and Jamie and I delve into the core themes, exploring how to opt out of societal expectations and create a life you never have to escape from. 
    Sound interesting? It is.
    We talk about the all-too-pervasive issue of waiting for life to "begin" once we achieve perfection - and how to break free from this mindset.
    Jamie shares her personal journey from self-doubt to self-love, offering practical tools for cultivating self-trust, defining your own version of success, and living with intention.
    Key Takeaways:
    Unlearn the dogma of dissatisfaction and embrace radical contentment. Cultivate real self-trust and define your own success. Live with intention and rewrite your personal narrative. Create consistent, healing habits and rituals to enhance your life. Join us as Jamie gives a good nudge to us to live a more satisfied life, free from the endless chase of societal approval.
    It's not just a conversation; it’s an invitation to transform your perspective and start living a life of true contentment. Your Dream Life.

Drifting with dahlias ,

Thank you for your words, and the many introductions.

I’ve been listening to this podcast for as long as it’s been running, and I’m so thankful to have Kristina in my life. I feel like she’s a good friend, and one of my dreams is to meet her one day.

I have found searching for my dream life thought provoking. Since I’ve been building Kristina’s words of wisdom into my life, I’ve found the courage to start my own small micro business (side hustle), continue to study which has just opened my door to a job that I’ve been dreaming of having for years.

None of this has been easy or without challenges, but tuning into this podcast has helped me make sense of the life I want.

Happy, healthy midlife ,

The perfect podcast for me 🙌🏼

Love everything about this podcast, the topics, the guests, the take-always and Kristina’s positive attitude 🖤

xanthe rose ,

New favourite!

I love that the episodes tend to be on the shorter side, a great quick listen but always jam packed with valuable information! 💓
