What if instead of seeing life’s setbacks as failures, you knew you were being trained for something much bigger? 

In today’s podcast episode Caroline de Posada shares how she re-designed her life to honor her vocation as a writer. When the book she set out to write hit an unexpected roadblock, a series of synchronicities took place that paved the way a different story that would become her debut book “Looking Over the Edge,” an inspiring and uplifting journey about her family’s near-death experience that served as a lesson in overcoming adversity. 

In this episode we discuss: 

• Why attaching monetary value to your new creative endeavors could be a recipe for failure. 
• How to stop making your creative work a low priority.
• How to develop trust in yourself when you face writer’s block. 
• How to delay gratification and develop emotional resilience.   
• How to take risks that pay off + prioritize your expenses based on your values. 
• How the comparison trap can blind you from support available to you right now. 
• How an unexpected family trip gave birth to Caroline’s debut book. 
• Why life is always training you for something bigger 
• Why surrender is necessary to create the work you were meant to do
