Will sharing your inner struggles hinder you, or have the power to set you free? Joining Sarah Grynberg is cognitive scientist, award-winning podcast host of ‘A Slight Change of Plans’, and former senior advisor and founder of the Obama White House Behavioural Science Team, Dr. Maya Shankar. In this profound conversation, Sarah and Maya talk about why change can be so painful; how she rebuilt her life after her early career as a violinist was taken away; the importance of sharing hardships with those around you in your community; and making meaning out of the darkness. If you are looking to get inspired and learn how to rebuild your life after an unexpected outcome arrives suddenly without warning, then this wisdom-filled discussion and Maya's compelling story of triumph over loss will no doubt help you find the beauty that exists in yourself and the world around you, but will also help you understand the meaning of courage: and turn it into your own personal power.
