Welcome back to the podcast!
In this episode, I explore how thinking about the impact of our work can help guide our decision-making as well as hold us back when we're feeling nudged towards making changes. We talk about possible ways to consider impact beyond measurable outcomes that contribute to solving the world's big problems. We also talk about how releasing attachment to impact outcomes might be really important when exploring, playing/learning, and following your curiosity towards something new, and how maybe it's okay to let the potential impact become more obvious down the road a little bit. We are all impacting the world around us every day, regardless of the path we choose.
