"I call it te being in go. And another metaphore i've used for it is being is sort of surfing metaphor, that you're not fully in control of your life," he says. "Yet you can feel that there is a force at play, and that you are a part of that play." It's been quite powerful for me, because i feel myself that i am needing to learn an almost new way of doing life recently", the author adds.

Anna McKeown joins Greg for a candid conversation on identifying your unique strengths and recognizing innate impulses as gifts meant to be awakened and developed. They discuss embracing what can be perceived as weakness, as well as creating a culture of resilience and the courage to allow for failure. They talk about the value and importance of applying these insights for ourselves and as parents to our children.
