In this episode of the Life Sucks, Now What?!? podcast, Dr. Natalie addresses the issue of not feeling passionate about anything and not knowing where to begin finding fulfillment in life. She explores the idea that not everyone has a burning passion and that it’s okay to have likes and dislikes without a clear purpose. Dr. Natalie suggests a three-step process to exploring what your passion might be: separating what’s yours from what’s been conditioned, anchoring back to self-worth and self-care, and exploring through play to discover what you like and don’t like.
