278: Radically Content with Jamie Varon

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.
