Sometimes I think we have this long list of things we want to do, you know, and we think we have to get it done right now or yesterday.
And I like to always remind people that it's called a life audit for a reason.
This is for your whole life.
How often do you get to sit down and go, okay, like, how are things going?
Where am I spending my time?
Am I happy with that?
Each one of these steps is really an opportunity for you to learn about yourself and to ask yourself a few questions, to just dig a little bit deeper so that by the end you'll walk away with more clarity and peace of mind.
And really, like, we just need the next step.
We don't need the next ten steps.
If you were a future planner and the next ten steps, like, makes you feel good and like, great, I love that.
But a lot of people, it's overwhelming.
So it's like we're just putting 1ft in front of the other.
We're just trying to move the ball a little bit forward with each of these.
So it's hard to build the life that you desire until you understand and own the life you're currently living.
But how do we do that?
How can we get real and honest and clear on a level that sets us up to then bridge the gap between our current reality and the one we want to live?
My guest today has a really interesting and different answer.
It's a special process she calls the life audit of today's guest, Ximene Vengochea is a well known voice in personal growth, mindfulness and self discovery, and a groundbreaking user experience researcher who has worked at some of the biggest names in tech.
And she's applied everything that she's learned in that domain to the quest to understand and then live your best life.
What emerged was her popular life audit process, a series of thought provoking exercises to really help strip away the noise and reconnect with your inner wisdom and map a path toward your yearnings.
