Overview

Have you ever wondered what makes some people extraordinary? Is it something special some people just have at birth? Or are we all born the same only to evolve into greater things? I’m learning that no matter what age or phase of life we are in, we have the ability to make choices that change our lives and the lives of others for the better. Finding a purpose greater than ourselves is a catalyst for that change. Today’s conversation with Lynne Twist is an inspiring one. We take a deep dive into creating a life of meaning and commitment, what that means for our identity, and the ripple effect it has throughout the world. We kick off the episode with Lynne’s history, going from a life of elaborate dinner parties and expensive wine to bathing orphaned babies in India and befriending Mother Teresa. Her journey to becoming an activist and philanthropist opens up a greater conversation of the power we have to help others when we stop making ourselves number one. Altruism doesn’t just impact the people we help, it has a biological impact that we benefit from as well. Lynne and I discuss the far-reaching effects of serving others, why that doesn't mean we have to fully sacrifice ourselves, and how to find your own calling. We also hear about the wisdom she has gained from Indigenous people around the world and so much more. This episode is brought to you by Cozy Earth, InsideTracker, and Essentia.
