Episode 166: Something New with Michael Kay
January 3, 2023
To start off the new year, I decided to try something new. Each month, our Chapter X community gathers on Zoom to discuss a specific topic. And today, you’re in for a treat—this podcast episode features a recording from our final Chapter X meeting of the year.
During this gathering, we reflected on 2023 and our aspirations for 2024: What lessons did it bring? What changes are we seeking or what growth are we aiming for? What insights emerged from both successes and challenges?
I believe that sharing these reflections could offer guidance to those navigating their own journeys—after all, that’s what Chapter X is all about. I hope you find this conversation intriguing, engaging, and perhaps it might even inspire you to join our monthly gatherings.
In this meeting, we explored topics such as:
- Why managing expectations becomes key in navigating the new experiences and challenges of this stage of life
- How remaining present and savoring every moment is a necessary challenge for your personal well-being
- Stoic philosophy and the idea of choosing how we respond to situations
- The impact of your family upbringing on shaping your outlook on the world
- Why letting go of worrying about external factors and honing in on what we can control in life is a powerful mindset
- The emotional hurdles of taking on new endeavors and shielding our self-worth from the judgments of others
