This episode
dives into the times we feel stuck and practical tactics we can use
to un-stick ourselves in big and small ways. We get real about
fostering healthy internal dialogue, overcoming social anxiety, and
a new way to push ourselves outside of our comfort zones by
accepting challenges from friends!
Meet Cara
Thomas, who spent over 10 years inventing award-winning products
for Fortune 100 companies. She found that adventure and playfulness
led to breakthroughs. In need of that personally, she started
Serenflipity as an experiment — and it ended up changing her life.
It started with a one-way flight to Mumbai, and 90 challenges
written by 90 friends, clients and strangers. Each day she flipped
a card, followed its direction and blogged the tale.
