Moving Beyond Happiness with Jenn Lim | As Told By Nomads Podcast
Author, marketplace expert, and public speaker, Jenn Lim, joins Tayo on the podcast today. Together, they engage in a deep conversation about Jenn’s journey to find happiness, why such happiness is missing in today’s workplace, and how we can start to incorporate it into both our professional and personal lives. Opening up the episode with a brief note on embracing pain and trusting in the process, Jenn notes that when we reckon with pain and discomfort, we make friends with the enemies that they once were. And according to her, that’s just the beginning of a long path toward happiness.
Jenn goes on to talk about the significance of trust, progress, connectedness, and, most importantly, purpose. When we engage in activities that reinforce our values, we are more likely to decrease the amount of volatility, uncertainty, complexity, and ambiguity in our daily lives. And that goes for the workplace as well. Through her work, Jenn has witnessed so many beautiful stories of people connecting with themselves and their work in deep and meaningful ways. And, as you listen in today, you’ll learn that you, too, can join in and experience this great happiness awakening yourself.

Quotes:
“The cure for the pain is in the pain.”
“I think that part of being in the pain is embracing it and forming a relationship with it, and saying, like, ‘Just sit next to me, and we'll have a talk.’“
“If you don't have a sense of control, it's almost impossible to have real meaningful happiness within yourself.”
“I think the biggest pivotal point for me was graduating from school, from college. And as an Asian American, I grew up with those, you know, quintessential things to be successful, doctor, lawyer, get in a good school, learn a bunch of instruments as much as you can.”
“Part of this great resignation is a great awakening. And those that understood it's not just a pay, it's not just more flex time. It is actually– ‘Wait, I'm showing up for what again? I'm spending the moments of my day doing this again?’”
“I've seen so many beautiful stories of people when they connect to themselves in that meaningful, deep way. And our understanding of how that can nurture their greenhouse.”
