In this short solo session, Sophie discusses three concepts that we all need to consider as we progress into a new year; purpose, rituals and connection.

Sophie shares the idea of purpose and questions whether the organisations we work with are sharing our individual sense of purpose - and what happens when they don’t. This makes it incredibly hard to uphold the values of the organisation we work with and also does not allow us to be our true authentic selves.

Sophie then talks about the importance of rituals in our everyday lives and how they prime us for the things we are to face throughout the day. We are continually immersed in rituals without even knowing, for example rituals of induction to a workplace or switching off rituals at the end of the day, and these sometimes small and simple actions allow us to connect with our experiences. Sophie shares some of her past and current rituals that have helped her throughout her work and home life.

Finally, combining purpose and rituals, Sophie examines the connection in our lives. How lacking authenticity and not allowing us to behave as our true self makes it difficult to build connections with others. Sophie describes a recent music concert she attended, along with seventy-six thousand others, and describes the sense of connection with the thousands who were present and unified at that moment.

Sometimes Sophie & our guests get super passionate about their topic and therefore, some “passionate” language might crop up! You might want to wear headphones or make sure young ears aren’t around, and if this is not your cuppa tea, this might not be the podcast for you.
