I walked in to get my first pedicure in 4+ months. Im thrilled. Grateful. Cannot believe how much I appreciate this moment and the people who are providing it for us and our nasty feet. Then this happened and I had to hold back from making a scene. #whiteprivilege

Fact: I didn’t catch a football until I was in m

Fact: I didn’t catch a football until I was in my 40s. Mainly because no one had ever thrown me one.

I was encouraged, invited (cajoled! Forced!) by my friends to be part of their coed touch football team in an actual league with matching t-shirts.

You don’t understand, I said. I'll be a liability.

They did not care. They didn't think I had any latent ability; they were one girl shy of a full roster.

If you could paint a picture of imposter syndrome, it was me in that stiff team shirt that first day.

I just ran around and pretended I knew what I was doing. Sometimes I was well into running an offensive route before realizing we were on defense.

And then, a few games in, I caught the ball.

Later in that season, I scored a touchdown. Then another.

We won the league championship that season. And the next.

Did I have a secret talent or passion for football? God no. I did not “follow my passion” onto the field. But I found some there.

We’ve got passion backwards, and it’s making life harder than it has to be. Let’s talk about it.

Come to this fun thing I’m doing, “Stop searching for your passion (and what to do instead)” - Thurs 7/9 @ 12pET. Link in bio. #Leadership #Career #Workshop #tedx #tedtalks

This is the day I graduated from Boston College in

This is the day I graduated from Boston College in 1995.

I walked out of there Magna Cum Laude, and Phi Beta Kappa, and with the single largest grant awarded to the student who showed promise of a career in writing.

I had a good head on my shoulders. And not a goddamn clue as to what I would do next. Not a single one.

What you don’t see in this picture is me having an internal panic attack. (Actually you kind of can.) I was paralyzed, terrified, and figured the world wasn’t looking for me, so why would I even knock on its door.

I wouldn’t catch my stride for years, so lost in the woods of self-doubt I couldn’t see my way out.

Was I passionate about things? Yes! Did that help me know what to do? No.

My mother was the voice of reason. She said: GET A JOB, ANY JOB. You don’t wait for the perfect job to start living your life, you create your life by living it. (Mom looking fly in this pic, ps.)

Following your passion sounds like a magic journey with a great soundtrack.

But thinking you need to know what's supposed to happen? Not helpful.

Join me this Thurs 7/9 @ 12p ET for “Stop searching for your passion—and what to do instead.”

I gave a TEDx talk a few years ago in which I take to task the idea that you need follow your passion.

The problem isn't that we have trouble following things we love; it's that we think we're supposed to know precisely what we should be following.

More than 6 million people have watched that talk, called "Stop searching for your passion."

And not because they were very busy following their ideal passions, but because they worried if they were doing the right thing.

They watched it and thought, Oh thank god.

Thank god I don’t have to find/hunt/secure a singular passion.

Thank god I don’t have to quit my job to go teach water polo in order to be “authentic.” (Though if that's working out for you, great!)

...So what if you didn’t have to “figure out” your passion first? What would that look like?

Let’s find out.

I'm leading a free online event this week on what to do when you're not on a wild goose chase to find your passion.

It’s called “Stop searching for your passion (and what to do instead)” and it’s THIS THURS 7/9 @ 12p ET.

Want to come? Good. Can't make that time? Register anyway.
