Become the Hero of Your Own Story with Jack Kindred
Manage episode 435381825 series 3476757
Are you the hero of your journey, or have you unknowingly become a victim of life?
In this episode, I welcome life coach Jack Kindred to explore the concept of the hero's journey in our lives, especially for high achievers.
Jack has been a Life Coach for 3 years. It is his third Act. The first was as a lawyer. The second was a stay-at-home dad with two daughters, one with special needs. The challenges have been great. The rewards have been greater.
Jack shares his personal story of transitioning from a lawyer to a stay-at-home dad and eventually to a life coach, revealing how these experiences shaped his understanding of life's challenges.
We discuss the critical shift from being a victim to becoming the owner of your life's narrative, the importance of slaying personal "dragons" like imposter syndrome, and the role of virtues in achieving a balanced life.
We also talk about the power of presence, stillness, and the surprising benefits of walking as a form of meditation and reflection.
In this Episode:
- Understanding life's challenges as a series of heroic journeys and the importance of choosing to face them.
- The essential mindset shift from feeling like life happens to you, to owning and learning from your experiences.
- Identifying and overcoming personal challenges like imposter syndrome and fear of failure.
- Using wisdom, courage, love, and other virtues as tools on your journey to a balanced and flourishing life.
- The importance of being present and mindful to hear your inner voice and guide your actions.
- How walking can help quiet the mind, connect with your inner self, and find clarity in challenging times.
