Our culture tells us we should be obsessed(!) with the thing we're meant to do, which can lead to judgment on our part—of our kids, our friends, and ourselves. There are lots of reasons not to be obsessed, and better ways to deal with them than judgment. I'll tell you more in this short episode.
If you suspect you're multi-passionate, I highly recommend the work of Barbara Sher ("Refuse to Choose") and Margaret Lobenstine ("The Renaissance Soul"). Thanks to Walt Whitman by way of Ted Lasso for this episode's title!
