In this episode, I reconnect with Jeff Glauser for a profound and deeply human conversation about the inner conflict so many of us face: the desire to follow our heart while also meeting the expectations of the world around us.

Jeff shares where he is in his journey, caught between multiple paths, each with its own promise and its own uncertainty. He speaks candidly about the pressure to provide for his family, the pull toward his passions, and the internal voices that ask, “What if this doesn’t work?”

We dive into what it means to live in a world where nothing is guaranteed, and yet everything is possible. Together, we explore the illusion of certainty, the stories we inherit from society, and the subconscious programming that runs the show until we stop and question it. I share metaphors, personal stories, and reflections on texts like The Untethered Soul, The Four Agreements, Outwitting the Devil, and Man’s Search for Meaning. All of these works point to a deeper truth: that the freedom we seek doesn’t come from guarantees. It comes from the courage to decide and to dream our own dream.

This conversation is an invitation to tune into a different frequency. To choose one narrative over another. To remember that you don’t need permission to follow what makes your soul come alive, and that even in the unknown, you are far more powerful than you’ve been led to believe.

If you’re standing at a threshold, wondering whether to take the leap or keep waiting for “the right time,” this episode is for you.
