Episode 152. Fall in Love With Your Life... OFF SCREEN with Palak Dave

Welcome back! I’ve been thinking a lot about social media, its impact on my life, its potential future impact on my kids' lives, and how to navigate life in a more intentional and less distracted way. So today I'm really excited for my chat with Palak Dave who is a versatile entrepreneur, speaker, and the author of "Beautiful Every Days," a guidebook to living in the here and now. I'm excited to join Palak today to discuss her transformative journey where each day offers the chance to live beautifully here in the now.

The nitty gritty
Hustle culture



Quotes

“My goal is to get people to see that we don't have to completely remove the digital parts of our lives, we have to lean into things so that we can fill our cups with more of what we love and what we know we need, but we might not be doing for ourselves.” - Palak Dave

“Chances are if you're going through something there are other people going through the same thing and it's just a matter of acknowledging it and raising those topics so that people feel like they can be connected.” - Palak Dave

“Ask deep questions from a place of curiosity instead of having an outcome that you're trying to get to.” - Palak Dave

“I think that curiosity is a solution to a lot of things, even arguments. Asking for clarification for things can solve so much.” - Nikki Spo

“You can reclaim your time and have it be so it's not controlling you.” - Nikki Spo

“You can be really intentional without it having to be the f***ing Pinterest board.” - Nikki Spo

“I think a lot of us don't know what our deep inner knowing is. Like we have it, but we can't identify it. But for me it's been like a constant pull trying to pull me back home to myself.” - Nikki Spo
