Sarah and Coach Amanda explore up—and the down---sides of pursuing passions with Brad Stulberg, co-author of The Passion Paradox: A Guide to Going All in, Finding Success, and Discovering the Benefits of an Unbalanced Life. In this thought-provoking conversation, the trio discusses: -how passion can be a gift or a curse; -the difference between obsessive and harmonious passion; -the critical importance of rest—and patience; -how to get over a disappointing race finish; and, -the benefits of getting older. The mother runners talk parenting in the intro, including the value of occasionally loosening the reins on teens. Brad joins the conversation at 13:12. Thanks for the continued support, Native.
