I said I had 4 tips for how I feed my passions (plural) in my last episode...but I was wrong!

So I’m updating that with 6 ways that I feed my passions and that I encourage my coaching clients to do.

Along with the 4 strategies I previously shared (find boundary-spanning projects, keeping a “sparkly” side interest, sharing resources reciprocally, and finding community), I’ve added two more (finding balance through strategic integration and pad your projects).

If you're looking for a community of multi-passionate Renaissance People, I'm bringing us together virtually once a month in "Fertile Grounds" where we can support one another, share ideas and resources, and collaborate.
