In this episode, I sit down with meditation teacher Light Watkins to talk about why you think you need to reinvent your life to feel fulfilled completely and why that belief is actually keeping you stuck. Light shares a completely different approach to change that doesn’t require you to quit your job, leave your relationship, or blow everything up.
