Hey there, it's Rohan. Have you ever felt stuck? Like you'd really like to make a change in your career

or your personal life, but you just couldn't move. Most of us feel stuck at one point or another.

And here's the interesting part. We actually already have the ability to get on stuck.

So why don't we do it? Our coaching partner better up, suggest that because we fear change,

we talk ourselves out of it. Maybe even overthink or overcomplicate the steps we need to take

to keep ourselves from taking action. Our internal antibodies to change, that is to say fear,

takes over. As a quick reminder, we're collaborating with Better Up by using meditative story

and the episode themes to coach you through challenges like getting stuck. If you're feeling stuck,

Better Up can help because here's what their coaches know. We like to think of ourselves as

rational beings, but what really motivates us is positively charged emotions that act as feedback

loops when we need to act. After today's meditative story, I'll share a brief exercise from Better

Up to kickstart the change you'd like to make in your life.

Welcome to Soul Curriculum, a special episode of meditative story.

One of the reasons I love being part of meditative story is that it can really help

deepen our understanding of ourselves. Think about it this way. Yes, we go into other people's

stories, but doing so holds a mirror up to our own lives and our own transformative experiences.

And so, in this episode, we're inviting back a storyteller who very recently shared their

meditative story with us. We're going to wind our way back through her story. And with her

alongside me right here, we'll talk about the key themes in a way that I hope may just open

up something special in you. If you remember Sharon Soll's book story, that's great. If not,

that's no big deal. Nowadays, Sharon leads workshops and retreats at the Insight Meditation

Society in Massachusetts, hosts the Metta Hour podcast, and is the author of the book Real Change
