There was a time in my life when from an outsider's perspective, I had it all. I had an awesome job traveling around the country, I had a circle of hugely successful friends, and I did not seem to have a care in the world.

Today's guest is the master of engineering the life you desire. After living on three different continents and experiencing distinct cultures, Michael Bauman has learned the key to transitions.

In this episode, Michael and I discuss how we can engineer the life we want and are meant to live.

  • Allow the experience to be there, just as it is;
  • Investigate with interest and care;
  • Nurture with self-compassion.
