episode 15. Obsessive vs. Harmonious Passions: Why Following All Your Interests Might Be the Most Powerful Move You Can Make
What if your “distractions” are actually part of your purpose?
In this episode of The Voice of You, we explore the science behind obsessive and harmonious passions—the idea that engaging in multiple interests can elevate your creativity, wellbeing, and even success. Whether you're a singer who also gardens, a writer who paints, or someone navigating many roles in life, this conversation is for you.
We’ll cover:
The difference between obsessive vs. harmonious passions
Why our culture glorifies single-minded focus (and how that’s hurting us)
How your “just for me” activities expand what’s possible in your creative work
Real stories—from clients, creatives, and my own life—about how diverse passions fuel each other
A new way to look at time, joy, and success that allows for all of you to thrive
This is your permission slip to stop choosing between the things you love, and start using them to feed one another.
