Welcome to another solo episode of the Insight Podcast.



This short 5-minute episode is on the balancing act between reason and passion, your rational brain versus your desire for fun and spontaneity.



I touch on how this conflict might show up when you make big life decisions around career, relationships and getting fit.

I share the quote from Khalil Gibran that inspired this episode.

And then briefly talk about how we might get this balance right.



Enjoy!
