From cupcake tweetups to avoiding compare-and-despair traps, Jamie Varon is a long-time friend—the first person I met from Twitter back in 2008—who I always appreciate catching up with. Today we’re talking about her debut book, Radically Content: Being Satisfied in an Endlessly Dissatisfied World.
More about Jamie: Jamie Varon is a writer, designer, course creator, and creative consultant. Her writing has been featured across the internet for over a decade, from Complex to the Huffington Post, Teen Vogue, The Liberty Project, and GOOD.
🌟Key Takeaways
Recognize and choose not to play the unwinnable games like looking a certain way, or being liked by everyone.
Mind the gap. Appreciate the time and space in between where you are and the outcomes you’re working towards for the joyful journey it is, rather than waiting for a finish line that might never come.
Have conviction in the work you create, and promote it confidently.
✅ Next Action
Embrace non-conformity. It may feel like a flaw, but it is the source of your strength and creativity. Cherish it.
