James Pearson on What to Do When Passion and Purpose Elude You

Have you ever made or thought about making a big change in your life? It felt like a leap of faith - a big risk? Or maybe you are trying to follow your heart, but aren't sure about the decision made? Well then - this episode is definitely for you! My guest and dear friend, James Pearson, is a poet and author. But the fact of the matter is - he didn't always want to be one. We talk about trying to be our true selves and learning to get out of the noise of what other people and circumstances expect of us. Check out James' latest poetry book, 'The Wilderness That Bears Your Name.' I love it so much! Can't wait for y'all to hear the episode!
