Episode 38 Personal Growth in the Age of Instant Gratification: Finding Identity and Meaning

The Wellness Connection with Fiona Kane

Is your identity largely shaped by the responsibilities you shoulder and the meaning you find in life? I dissect this thought-provoking question in this episode. I venture into the world of finding self-worth and finding meaning in life, not through instant gratification, but by embracing the challenges that come with responsibility. I also discuss the roles of faith, community, and service in forging our identities.
I also shine a light on the current state of our universities that often stifle differing opinions. I believe the art of having difficult conversations and challenging our beliefs is pivotal in our growth as individuals. In our digital age that often reinforces our existing views, it's even more critical than ever to seek out different opinions and have challenging discussions.
I also explore how taking ownership of our lives shapes our identity, contributes to our mental health, and brings meaning to our existence.
