On today’s episode of Awake & On Purpose Podcast, Jennifer speaks with Dr. Alison Horstmeyer about the power of curiosity, its connection with our values, and why it’s one of our most incredible tools for personal development and growth. They discuss how certain values can lend themselves to certain behaviors, and how to counter that, our influence within our communities, the importance of mindful, internal inquisitiveness, and so much more in today’s transformational episode!
But we have to let go of homeostasis. You actually do not want to be going back to where you were. You want to be integrating those new inputs so you’re expanding and building, and your spiral is going up and broadening up to a new level.
