Summary

If you find yourself discouraged in your wandering, you don't have to be! The growth is really in the journey, not the arrival. If you don't believe that, we get into it in this episode with artist Caitlin Connolly. She shares her unconventional path, how it really took decades to believe in herself, and why you, too, should pursue your blessed wandering path. You've probably seen Caitlin Connolly's work; her art is strikingly beautiful and many women identify strongly with her figure painting. I for one, knew I needed her to share her unique story with this community when Miranda Anderson shared a bit of it on her podcast. There is something so familiar in her own story of struggling to find her calling. Her advice? Start with what you love. Anything, no matter how small or trivial in your mind, will do. Then build, seek support, find clarity, and gain confidence. We also discuss how to deal with "arrival disappointment", and the beauty in taking a break. If you find yourself well-versed in fear, scared of trusting your gut, this episode should give you the "get started" boost you need.

0:00.0	to About Progress. This is episode 234. Pursue your blessed wandering path with
0:08.8	Caitlin Connolly. I hear so much from you and I understand this desire myself that you want to know
0:15.8	what your purpose is and what your passion is and it's hard to even know where to
0:20.8	start. If that is you, this episode is something that you must listen to.
0:27.2	One thing that we really do a terrible job towards ourselves and others is when we see other people have passions and we assume they just came naturally for them.
0:37.0	Maybe you have a friend who is an incredible gardener and she has a green thumb and everything that she plants comes to beautiful life and she
0:46.5	loves to do it. Maybe you have another friend who is really talented at hand lettering
0:52.4	or another at art. Perhaps you have another who
0:55.5	travels a world or a friend who is so passionate about her career or another friend
1:00.6	who seems to be the best homeschooling mom on the planet.
1:05.8	And we look at these women and sometimes men too and we think, wow, they just knew what
1:10.8	they were sent here to do and they did it and I wish I had
1:14.6	something like that. I'm here to tell you today friends that you do have something
1:18.8	like that and more than just one thing is many things.
1:22.6	And as you are on this path, it's going to be both blessed and wandering to help you figure
1:29.2	out what your passions and purposes are, and I say that plural in both ways because I do not think
1:35.3	there's a definable single one for each of us. I almost named everything I've done
1:41.1	with about progress before it was even a podcast
1:44.0	mediocre Monica because for most of my life I've been very interested in a lot of things
1:50.4	or sometimes just a little interested in a lot of things and at times
1:54.4	that has left me feeling like I am not pursuing something that is really
1:58.7	admirable or good or worthy maybe I just should be looking for my one definable thing.
