Ep. 203 - Are you feeling stuck in a loop of mundane routines, stale conversations, and "bored energy"? Kimberly pulls back the curtain on the personal framework she's been using to reclaim her vibrancy and creativity. Kimberly argues that we lose our "playfulness" as we age, but the secret to unlocking new levels of success—both personally and professionally—is intentionally becoming a beginner again. Whether it's picking up a pickleball paddle, diving into the strategic world of Mahjong, or mastering a new technical skill, Kimberly shares why being "bad at something" is actually the best way to grow. Tune in as she challenges you to embark on a 90-day journey of "failing forward," explains why in-person connection is the ultimate networking tool, and reveals the surprising hobby that inspired Steve Jobs—and is now on her bucket list.
