Ep 97 - Healing Girl Summer continues with Lesson Three from Benchmarks Are Bullshit: you will change your mind. But that's not a flaw, it's how growth actually works.
We break down why we treat reversible decisions like permanent ones, and how the story you've been telling about yourself doesn't have to be the only story.
From Vera Wang not designing her first dress until nearly 40, to Grandma Moses picking up a paintbrush at 78, to living three completely different lives in under a decade, the evidence is everywhere. Skills travel. Identity isn't fixed. And almost every decision you will ever make sits way closer to the Brussels sprouts end of the spectrum than the face tattoo one.
Key takeaways:
- Decisions are not life sentences, but being inflexible is
- The spectrum framework: Brussels sprouts vs. face tattoos
- Don't let your job become your identity
- Your skills travel with you across every pivot
- You have the power to change your story, no permission necessary
