S1 Ep05 - Creating an Empowered Experience

In everything we do, we can feel lit up and feel meaning ... or we can feel a sense of obligation, victimhood, discouragement. The difference is how we're relating to what we're doing — in an empowered or disempowered way.

In this episode, Leo looks at how to create a new, empowered relationship to your purpose project.

Topics Covered

The concept of empowered versus disempowered relationships with one's projects and work
Empowered relationships involve feeling excited, lit up, and capable, while disempowered relationships are marked by fear, resistance, and self-doubt
How to examine their disempowered feelings and identify fears such as being judged, inadequate, or embarrassed
Examples of empowering contexts, including play, service, leadership, art, love, compassion, wonder, adventure, and curiosity, to help shift the relationship with one's projects
How to choose an empowering context and practice it consistently
The need for continuous practice and self-compassion when transitioning from a disempowered to an empowered relationship
How Leo is applying an empowered relationship to his project — working on his grandmother's book
