Eight years and 100 episodes ago, I started this podcast because I felt like I was in a race I was going to lose - a race against aging, against "should," against what it meant to be a grown-up. I decided to redefine growing up for myself: with play, with wonder, with permission to not know. This is episode 100. And while I haven't found all the answers, I have found better questions and some things worth sharing about what it takes to become more of ourselves, and why that work matters. In this episode: Why permission to not know is the foundation of becoming yourself How play became my most powerful tool for exploration and growth The power of questions over answers in navigating adulthood Why community matters and why you're not doing this alone Covering the same ground over and over again\u2014and why that's actually the practice Wonder as a daily practice for staying curious and human Recognizing seasons: when to push into discomfort, when to nurture yourself through change Why becoming yourself isn't selfish\u2014it's how we create connection and change Questions I'm still exploring after 100 episodes Mentioned:   - Almost Grown...Up - Not knowing episode: https:\/\/open.spotify.com\/episode\/2LrQ3VVOHD9eq82hrVNhNj?si=yhXuBJiSSySPNR1l7Uihzg - Almost Grown...Up - Play series: https:\/\/open.spotify.com\/episode\/2Ncd1E6Kb0Nb2E6eoS2hPg?si=42f5f9685adb49b2 - Almost Grown...Up- Questions Episode : https:\/\/youtu.be\/pMlSIvM8f-Y?si=LfVWV5drMPvf1mLT - Letters to a Young Poet - Ranier Maria Rilke: https:\/\/share.google\/bdDn59rA7X43nElOV - Instructions for Traveling West: Poems- Joy Sullivan: https:\/\/share.google\/JXr8AGy6cN2fxu0aR - Hospicing Modernity- by Vanessa Machado de Oliveira: https:\/\/decolonialfutures.net\/hospicingmodernity\/ The truth: It's still a mess. I'm still figuring it out. But I love that there's so much left to discover. If you're trying to figure out your own way of growing up, your own way of showing up in the world, I hope this gives you permission to stay in the mess too. Because when you turn up as you, we all win. Thank you for being part of this 100-episode journey. Here's to the next 100 of still figuring it out.
