Recharting Your Life With Hope -Get Unstuck and Discover Direction, Purpose, and Joy for Your Life Hope Cook, Healthcare Burnout Life Coach

I woke up at 38 and realized I'd checked all the boxes on my wish list. A boy, a girl, a house, a good job, a cute husband, a degree, and money in the bank. But I'd never felt more lost and bewildered. Why wasn't I happy? I'd gotten exactly what I wanted.

Reading Sue Monk Kidd's When the Heart Waits and Martha Beck's Way of Integrity opened my eyes about why I didn't feel good despite getting what I wanted. In this episode, we talk about wantings vs yearnings. What the brain thinks you want vs what the heart wants.

If you ever get the chance to sit down with Dolly, do it! If that's not
an option, I highly recommend BEING Dolly. Buy the wig, a sparkly outfit, do your makeup and BE Dolly. Stepping outside yourself and into a beloved icon's story will give you a drastic perspective shift. Don't wait until next Halloween to try this out! Listen to these 10 lessons I learned after getting all "dolled" up at a conference theme night event.
