What lights me up are questions and being curious about people’s journeys and whatnot. I spent the last decade studying powerful questions and the mental fitness practices of people. I’ve done everything possible to figure out how to take that information and their story or their knowledge and flip it into questions so we can implement that in our life. That’s probably what I would talk about. But I’d first start asking questions about what lights you up or what makes you smile each day.</span></p> <p> </p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">[9:36]</span> <strong>How did you get into the work that you do?</strong></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">I was in the corporate world doing my thing and was quite happy working in brand management and product management in the healthcare space. But what I was doing in that job was reading, learning, and getting into these mental fitness practices. I started picking up these practices, specifically around reflection and journaling.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">[11:03] </span></
