If there’s one thing literally everyone has in common, it’s the desire for something in your life (maybe many things) to be different.

Humans aren’t satisfied (cue Hamilton: I will never be satisfied!! 🎶) by nature. As much as we might resist change, we also deeply crave it.

But we’re also not great at making change! We have a lot of assumptions about how to do it, most of which don’t actually work.

So, in this month’s brand-new interview with an expert, Rachel sits down with Amy Johnson, Ph.D., to talk about how to make big change without having to force anything or exert a ton of willpower.

Listen in as they got into …

  • How Amy broke free of a lifetime of anxiety and an 8-year struggle with an eating disorder, using an approach that’s simple but very powerful
  • Why it’s not necessary (or helpful) to rely on our mind/thoughts when trying to change, and what to lean on instead
  • Amy’s take on things like intrusive thoughts, beating yourself up, and wishing things could be different than they are
  • And a LOT more!

This was a really interesting and profound conversation. We can’t wait for you to hear it!

LAST DAY FOR $300 OFF THE PASSION PROFILE SHORT COURSE!

We spent the last year renovating and completely updating ALL of the content in the Passion Profile Short Course, and to celebrate we're giving you $300 off – but the sale expires TODAY, Friday the 28th!

No need for a discount code – the price is temporarily lower on our site, through the end of the day! Get the course here.

The PPSC is a GREAT place to start if you're spinning your career wheels. It's designed to help you cut through burnout and start finding direction in less than 1 day!

If you want to ...

  • Stop hemorrhaging energy and learn how to work in a way that feels good and actually works for you,
  • Get to a place where working feels more like living,
  • No longer over-analyze or second-guess your choices, because you're clear on where you're going and how to get there,
  • Have a career that actually meets your deep needs — for flexibility, autonomy, connection, and purpose,

...then you couldn't ask for a better place to begin than the Passion Profile Short Course!

It's about 5 hours of video content + workbook prompts, plus a forum where you can post questions and get answers from us. You can do it at your own pace, once you buy it you have access forever.
