Have you ever had an epiphany? Do you even know what one is?

We usually use it to mean a sudden revelation or insight… and most of the time I hear it used in those lightbulb moments of creativity… kinda like an “aha” moment.

But I’m coming to learn it goes a little deeper.

The dictionary definition is a sudden, intuitive perception of or insight into the reality or essential *meaning* of something, usually initiated by some simple, homely, or commonplace occurrence or experience.

And the word “epiphany” dates all the way back to ancient Greece. It comes from the Greek “epiphaneia,” meaning “appearance” or “manifestation,” and was usually referred to the revelations brought to us by the gods.

So it’s not just about a random insight… it’s an intuition realization about the the deeper meaning of something.

Which I believe is our whole purpose in being in a body in this lifetime. To find the meaning in our lives.

Our guest is Elise Ballard. She is the author of the book, Epiphany: True Stories of Sudden Insight and Epiphany: The Journal, which are all part of her Epiphany Project, a collection of interviews with people from all walks of life about their greatest epiphanies.

She is now considered an “epiphany expert” so I’m super stoked at the insights we’ll get from today’s episode.
