We often ask kids what they want to be when they grow up, but a more impactful question might be WHO do you want to be? And for us adults who have let the world influence our ideas of who we are, sometimes the best thing to ask ourselves is who we want to UNbecome.
In this conversation, Hallie and I reflect on the importance of being present in the moment and the process of “unbecoming” to discover one’s true self. We also explore the shift in generational perspectives towards life and work and how our religion or spiritual perspectives influence our views on life.
Takeaways:
- It’s not about slowing life down; it’s about being present.
- “Unbecoming” is about shedding layers of identity and ego.
- Generational shifts are changing perspectives on work and life.
- Spirituality can be found in various practices, not just religion.
- Midlife is an opportunity for awakening and reflection.
