Can you imagine making a drastic career shift from the scientific field of dentistry to the creative realm of authorship? Dr. Puja Shah, our guest for today, made that very leap and found a passion that was not only fulfilling but also transformative. She's here to share her intriguing journey and how she came to understand that passion isn't something you can predict or plan – it's something you stumble upon or engineer.
Fulfilling one's dreams can be challenging, especially when juggling motherhood. Listen as Puja shares her unique strategies that helped her overcome creative blocks and confront guilt associated with pursuing personal interests. She found a way to weave her passion into her family life, teaching her children that you can be more than one thing and that joy can be found in pursuing your passions, even if they don't transform into a career.
We don't just discuss passion. We dive deeply into topics like control, self-love, and trust. Puja opens up about her struggle with control – how she had to let go of it and replace fear with trust to find a new sense of order in her life. She emphasizes the significance of self-love, awareness, and understanding in the process of relinquishing control.
Get ready to be inspired as you join us in this conversation filled with profound insights, stories of personal transformation, and pearls of wisdom that will stir you to pursue your own passions.
