The great quest - to find meaning in life. I devoted my life to filling all the roles, pursuing all the achievements, and engaging with all the relationships I thought would provide the greatest meaning to my life. Only to come to the reckoning that the world doesn't give meaning to my life. I do. Join me as I discuss how we make meaning from our lives and how we can satisfy ourselves in every moment, regardless of the circumstances. kevinmiller.co *Over 75 million downloads, 350 expert guests, 1,700 episodes...and the journey continues on the podcast evolution from 'The Ziglar Show' to 'The Self-Helpful Podcast' to 'What Drives You' to 'The Kevin Miller Podcast'...","last_synced_at":"2026-07-21T08:17:30.000848+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/the-kevin-miller-podcast-1066460"},"episode":{"title":"In A World Bent On Achieving Destinations We Look At The Empowerment of Leaving Things Behind w/ Empowerment Expert Rosenna Bakari","slug":"in-a-world-bent-on-achieving-destinations-we-look-at-the-empowerment-of-leaving-things-behind-w-empowerment-expert-rosenna-bakari","published_at":"2026-06-22T16:54:00+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/the-kevin-miller-podcast-1066460/in-a-world-bent-on-achieving-destinations-we-look-at-the-empowerment-of-leaving-things-behind-w-empowerment-expert-rosenna-bakari","show_page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/the-kevin-miller-podcast-1066460","url":"https://www.podtrac.com/pts/redirect.mp3/pdst.fm/e/cohst.app/pdcst/8V6C6E/pscrb.fm/rss/p/traffic.megaphone.fm/YAP3306830025.mp3","audio_url":"https://www.podtrac.com/pts/redirect.mp3/pdst.fm/e/cohst.app/pdcst/8V6C6E/pscrb.fm/rss/p/traffic.megaphone.fm/YAP3306830025.mp3","summary":"I appreciate people who help us paradigm shifts. I have viewed life as progressing to the next goal. The next destination. Focused on what I can add to my achievements. And yet as I’ve gotten older and dealt with more things that have humbled and tempered me, I’ve started wondering if there is as much or more growth, not from adding, but subtracting. Not from learning new things, but unlearning old things. In a similar concept, my guest today says, “Transformation is the power of departure.” DR. ROSENNA BAKARI is a psychologist, empowerment expert, and educator who has just published a book titled, Seven Exits: Leave Behind What No Longer Serves You. Rosenna had a childhood seizure at age seven and was misdiagnosed as “mildly retarded.” She went on however to be identified as mentally gifted. At age 17 she entered Cornell University and by age 22 earned her Ph.D. in Educational Psychology. For more than 25 years, Dr. Bakari taught psychology to graduate and undergraduate students, published peer-reviewed articles, and delivered presentations across the country with a focus on empowerment, healing, and transformation. Here is a quote I tuned into from Rosenna, “High-quality mental well-being displays positive characteristics, such as managing stress and recovering from adversity. It also includes emotional regulation, self-awareness, and cognitive flexibility. However, individuals with high mental functioning can still be disempowered.” I feel we have a culture that feels tremendously disempowered, even amongst the so-called, “successful.” So I dug into the issue with Rosenna.
