When was the last time you let yourself feel pure, childlike wonder at the world? Monica C. Parker, world-renowned speaker, writer, and author of The Power of Wonder, explains how actively seeking out the emotion of wonder will change how you experience life. She and Jessica discuss the intersection of wonder and neuroplasticity, using wonder as a love language, and the importance of identifying your own “wonder-bringers” in life. They talk about how wonder is actually the science behind expansion and the ways we can transform how we learn, develop new ideas, and love each other using this insanely powerful emotion. This conversation will actually reframe how you move through the world, inspiring you to become an active seeker of wonder in your day to day life, whether that is by learning to seek it outside of your phone or inside the people you see every single day.
