Why Your Left-Field Obsessions Are the Breadcrumbs You Need to Follow

What if the random obsession you keep dismissing — the sourdough baking, the knitting, the gardening, the fantasy novels — isn't a distraction from your purpose, but a direct signal toward it? And what if the reason you keep squashing those pulls isn't because they're impractical, but because you've been trained to only value what can be immediately monetized?

Kathryn digs into why so many gifted entrepreneurs dismiss the very things they're being called toward because they don't fit a business model, can't be packaged, or don't have an obvious through-line to income. She shares her own journey of following pulls that made no logical sense (astrology, Human Design, Gene Keys) before understanding what they were truly pointing toward, and why the greatest creators — from Warhol to Dalí — never set out to build a legacy. They just followed their obsessions.

BY THE TIME YOU FINISH LISTENING TO THIS EPISODE, YOU’LL DISCOVER:

• Why the hits of inspiration and left-field interests popping up for you right now — the sourdough, the gardening, the herbalism, the painting — are likely your soul's gifts trying to come online, and how the habit of immediately asking "how do I monetize this?" is the exact mechanism that shuts the channel down before it can show you where it's actually leading.
• How Kathryn's experiential learning style — someone who graduated top of her master's program without asking a single question or being front-of-class, who traveled to a remote Philippine village to live her research rather than study it from a lab — reveals the bigger point that the way you're wired to learn, create, and show up is not a liability, and how the sourdough baker who masters their craft with no monetization plan may be five years ahead of the bread shortage they never saw coming.
• A reframe on consistency that has nothing to do with posting every day or showing up the same way all the time and everything to do with being in rhythm with how you're actually designed to move through seasons of go, slow, and pause, the same way a garden consistently does what it needs to do depending on the season rather than trying to bear fruit year-round.
• Why trying to force clarity on your creative direction or body of work — rolling on the metaphorical tennis ball until you've just irritated the knot further — is the thing preventing the insight from coming through, and how sitting in contemplation with what's arising (without rushing it to fit a package, a price point, or a five-step path) is where the real revelation lives.
