Episode 27: Follow Your Heart's Desire (No, Really)

"Follow your heart."

It's lovely advice. It's also become so overused that it now sits somewhere between live, laugh, love and everything happens for a reason. We nod politely, have absolutely no idea what it means, and then carry on making decisions with our heads.

The problem isn't the advice. It's that we've misunderstood what the heart actually is.

Your heart isn't asking you what would make you comfortable, successful or even happy. It isn't a glorified wish list or a feelings factory. It has a much more singular job than that. It simply points towards what is true. The tricky part is that your mind usually has other ideas.

In this episode, Bello unpacks what it really means to follow your heart's desire, why your essence has an uncanny way of giving you the same answer over and over again, and how to tell the difference between the voice that's trying to keep you safe and the one quietly calling you home.

As it turns out, following your heart isn't nearly as fluffy as Instagram would have you believe.
