What if everything you've been told about success is actually holding you back? In this eye-opening conversation with Harvard-trained lawyer turned spiritual entrepreneur Tama Kieves, we unveil why "being practical" might be the most impractical decision you'll ever make for your happiness.

Feeling empty at the peak of achievement isn't just common—it's a wake-up call. Tama reveals the counterintuitive truth that 68% of high achievers report feeling trapped in their success, and shares her radical approach to breaking free from conventional thinking. Her provocative advice to "stop being so damn practical" isn't just bold—it's backed by Yale neuroscience showing how embracing uncertainty actually supercharges creativity by 53%.

From rewriting limiting beliefs to accessing your hidden genius, this episode delivers transformative insights for anyone who's ever felt successful yet unfulfilled. Discover why your unconventional desires aren't frivolous—they're the encoded roadmap to your most authentic life.
