There is so much power in becoming aware of your curiosity… and not only becoming aware of it, but starting to know how to use it as your superpower.

Curiosity is a common theme that has showed up throughout many of our episodes. In this episode, we are talking about having the courage to be curious and the power that lies within it.

In this episode, Dan and Drea walk through how to find your “why”, how to name your emotions and let them move through you, and what to do when you have an amygdala hijack. Get curious with this episode and learn how to get curious in life!
