22: I Find Myself in the Lost & Found

Summary

After last weeks episode on focusing on what matters most I got a piece of feedback that changed the plans for this episode. The essential question in the feedback was what do you do when you feel lost or maybe don't know if what matters most has changed. So this week I want to talk to those of us, yes us as I can certainly relate to this feeling, that are feeling lost. Let's discuss how we will know if we are in the lost and found and what we can do about it.
