In this episode, I explore what the American dream means to me and consider how the concept has evolved over the generations. For my immigrant parents, the American dream meant job security and financial success, but for me, it’s about living a life fuelled by passion, purpose, and creativity. We all have our own version of the American dream, and as a purpose coach, I’m here to help you find yours. Listen in to discover how to move away from the traditional 9-5 and start doing what you love. 

Topics discussed in this episode:

[00:13:02] – Breaking free of societal constraints and parental expectations

[00:22:42] – Defining what you value and how you want to pursue your American dream

[00:23:18] – Learning from the example of successful role models

[00:29.09] – Building a supportive community of like-minded people

Quotes from Episode: 

“I love the idea of being able to redefine the American dream. There can be a million different versions of the American dream because there are millions of different people and we all get to define it in a way that makes sense for us.” 

“I could look at the 10 years I spent in my finance job as a waste of time, or I can see the ways that it served me. It gave me the financial stability and the career success to enable me to now pursue my version of the American dream.”
