Slacking Ambition

On this episode of the show, I talk to Dr. Valerie Young about the 5 common career myths that are killing your dream. These include thinking you need a j-o-b to make a living, focusing on skills not interests, thinking you need to pick just one passion/calling/interest, and the Life First-Work Second approach to career planning. Dr. Young is the founder or ChangingCourse.com and ImposterSyndrome.com and had great stories about how she has helped people figure out how to make a living doing what they love and live a purpose filled life. Check out her websites as well as her book The Secret Thoughts of Successful Women: Why Capable People Suffer from the Impostor Syndrome and How to Thrive in Spite of It.
