I can't wait to listen to this. When I was applying to colleges (late 1990s), passion was the watch word. I remember so many well-intentioned adults trying to help me make choices and compile applications by asking me to share my passion, as if it were so simple. So much pressure for an 18 year old. I barely have an understanding of my passions in my 40s and I still feel a visceral reaction to this word. At 18, I was still so uncooked. How could I have known? Anyway. Excited to tune in and listen to your thoughts.
Ah! Holly -- this is such a great point! I didn't even really touch on this yet it's SUCH a huge part of the fucked-up ways we become conditioned. You have the wheels in my brain spinning again. Thank you so much!
