The Collective Wisdom Podcast with Cat Preston
Arts:Visual Arts
Hey there, my wise friends and welcome to season five of The Collective Wisdom Podcast. We're kicking off this new season with a little bit of a difference because rather than having one or two guests this week, I have 16. Yep, I like a good challenge. Why the party? Well, because over the summer, I was lucky enough to be involved in a collaborative book project with a group of friends who are all members of an online community I'm part of called The Right Company, which was founded back in 2018 by Bernadette Jiwa and Mark Dyck to support freelancers, solopreneurs, and business owners. A few of us have been working together on that project. And this week, we're celebrating the launch of our book into the world. It's called 'Enough: Unlock a life of abundance starting right where you are'
In the book, we share our own perspectives on how we've set about doing work that feels aligned with our values, and gives us that sense of fulfilment, whilst also leaving us with enough time and energy to focus on perhaps the other things in life that matter to us. We've shared our compelling stories where we distil all the advice and wisdom we've learned along the way. We share insights from failures, celebrate creativity with poetry, and ask some powerfully reflective questions that we've often asked ourselves.
It's our hope that reading our stories will inspire you to reflect on your own answer to the question of 'what is enough?' and explore your own unique gifts and creative talents to focus your attention on what it is you really want to achieve in life. Perhaps finding the encouragement to taking steps towards building or rebuilding a life that is rich in every sense of the word.
In short, we hope it's a call to action for how to use that propelling question of 'What is enough?' as a compass for living life on your terms.
