WOW! I really loved this so much! I've been a follower of Paula Prober for many years, and found your substack when I recently subscribed to hers. I'm so glad I did!
I'm 48 now and definitely [finally] embracing my multipotentialite self. Or at least beginning to try. Ha ha! I've been so many things over the years. I always joked as a young person that I wanted to live at least 25 lifetimes in this life. No one has EVER supported my career changes or reinventions of myself. I've had so. many. people. tell me it's weird that I can just leap from one career to the next (marketing and web development, teaching, consulting, etc etc etc). For everyone out there listening - the truth is, when it gets boring or feels like you're going to get stuck, there's no better way to infuse your soul with energy and passion than to take the leap and follow your instincts. Forget what society tells you about how or what you should be. Listen to your heart.
I can see already that I am going to LOVE reading what you write! Thank you for being out there for all of us gifted folks! I am grateful there are people like you, who speak up and speak out, so those of us who don't fit the mold have somewhere to go to hear the music of our souls.
Michelle, Thank you for your kind words and your insights about this topic. Highly sensitive, creative, and multipotentialite folks often struggle to fit in with mainstream expectations... Much better to tune into your inner voice!
I love how thorough this article is, Gail. I will have to share it!
Thanks, Paula!
