Ep 119 - Follow your Passion with Amy McLearn

<p>Do you know what you’re passionate about? If you answered “no” you are not alone! To be honest I think for so many of us we are so busy doing all of the things we are “supposed” to do that some of those things that have been put deep inside of us get lost, snuffed out with “adult” responsibilities and even the disappointments that come our way.</p> <p>And sometimes, we can feel a little guilty or selfish for pursuing the things that bring us joy. But what if those things that light us up are God-given? And what if pursuing them aren’t in fact selfish but are for others? <a href="https://www.instagram.com/amydowmclaren/"><u>Amy McLaren</u></a> knows first hand what it looks like to feel like “maybe there’s a little more out there for me.” She started small and spent a few weeks following a nudge in her heart and that nudge has turned into <a href="https://villageimpact.com/"><u>Village Impact</u></a>, a non-profit that has built over 14 schools in Kenya. That doesn’t sound selfish at all.</p> <p>Listen in to our conversation and maybe it will give you your own “aha” moment towards your own passions and desires.
