About this episode
Most of us love being good at things.
Very few of us enjoy being beginners.
But what if the awkward, frustrating learning phase is actually where the most important growth happens?
In this episode, I explore why we dramatically underestimate our ability to learn new things in midlife and why continuing to challenge ourselves may be one of the best ways to stay mentally sharp, emotionally resilient, and deeply engaged with life.
The goal isn't mastery.
The goal is growth.
And growth always asks us to tolerate not knowing for a while.
