Today on More to the Story: a simple (but not easy) way to affect change or the outcome you’re hoping to achieve.
In today’s episode:
- inspiration from a recent book that I read, Be Ready When the Luck Happens, by Ina Garten
- how I feel about celebrity memoirs, even though I have read a few (listen to find out which ones!)
- a popular TV show from the 1990s that I wasn’t allowed to watch when I was in high school
- leaning into the energy of curiosity and playfulness, holding things lightly and practicing not being too attached to expectations for a specific outcome
- being too attached to expectations is what causes disappointment
- holding expectations loosely to allow room for something surprising to happen
- two stories from Ina Garten’s memoir that really stuck with me: one from when she and her husband Jeffery were engaged, and one from when she was the new owner of the Barefoot Contessa in the Hamptoms
- a lesson that Ina has used many times in her life that can be applied to our creative lives
