In my official favorite episode I have recorded to date (Watch on YouTube: https:\/\/youtu.be\/GOpceYfkVOs), we're talking about the difference between being fully in the LIVED experience of going for your dreams vs. constantly measuring whether they\u2019re working. Is it growing? Is anyone noticing? Am I getting the validation? Am I there yet? I\u2019m sharing some very emotional stories from my own relationship with music, creativity, and success - including real talk about the season when something I loved became consumed by striving and optimization, and what it took to find my way back to creating from joy, fulfillment, and truth. Because somewhere along the way, we can accidentally abandon the experience of our own lives while waiting for the outside world to tell us we\u2019ve arrived. If no one else in the world ever validates this\u2026 can this still be enough for me? Maybe you don\u2019t need to try harder. Maybe you need to come home to you. You have the magic, after all! \ud83d\udc97  Dreamaway Membership 7 Day Free trial: https:\/\/haleyhoffmansmith.com\/dreamaway\/ My book: https:\/\/haleyhoffmansmith.com\/book\/ @haleyhoffmansmith ","author_name":"Big Conversations with Haley Hoffman Smith","author_url":"http:\/\/www.haleyhoffmansmith.com","html":"
