   What Sparks You Joy?

   In this weeks poddy, I chat to you about "What Sparks You Joy?". Yes, I'm referring to one of the fundamental components from Marie Kondo's rules in regards to decluttering, but not in the sense of just materialistic items. We delve into how we can use this rule and apply it to each aspect of our lives, including (but not limited to) our job/career, our hobbies, friends and family. I also have a wee chat about how I've been implementing this into my own life, and how asking myself something as simple as "what sparks me joy" has lead to a total turn around in what I want in life and my career. I also touch on "creative burnout" and the mentality of "work hard, hustle hard" and how it's not sustainable long term. NEWS: I'll be uploading a new podcast every fortnight!
