West of Wonderland have been working soooo hard lately, so they're going to take this week's episode to be ridiculous. Friend-of-the-podcast Jason Frazell has supplied Laura with a ChatGPT that has mansplained Disney Adults to her. Bay and Laura discuss and reenroll themselves in why they love what they love (hint: it's VelociCoaster and Hagrid's Magical Creatures Motorbike Adventure ™). How long can YOU talk about your favorite ride?

How do we "be with" opening up to large swaths of the unknown? What's the day to day life for you when you're building something new and waiting for it to pan out? What do you like to fill your favorite pans with? Do you call them Rice Krispie Treats or Squares, and what's your favorite way to make them?

How much do you know about Candian elections and government? Laura interrogates Bay about the Canadian electoral system, as Canada is in the midst of an election. What info is new to you around Canada, does anything surprise you the way it surprised Laura?! (P.S. Join us for our live recording of episode 200! https://www.laurawestman.com/wow-live )

What kind of wisdom do you seek when you're really "going through it"? Where do you look? What kind of magic do you have to open up to? Can you believe that Laura and Bay have been having breakthroughs in patience, of all things?! (P.S. Join us for our live recording of episode 200! https://www.laurawestman.com/wow-live )

What do you remember about the days where your life revolved around what was on TV, when? Bay and Laura discuss Really Important Things ™ including, but not limited to: joys and pitfalls of self-employment, the need for fun when you're working on a ton of stuff, and how often your survival mechanism "cries wolf." How do you advocate for your future when your survival mechanism has its claws in you?

What's it like when you revisit goals, intentions, and therefore patterns and survival mechanisms? In this fantastically ontological episode, Bay and Laura discuss some of the paradoxes of goal achievement and ontological transformation, both for clients and for coaches! What predictable things does your survival mechanism do when you're starting new things? How long can you remember you're great before you feel terrible? How much did Hallie and Annie weigh when they were born (yes, this is a Parent Trap reference)?

The wheel turns again, and West of Wonderland is curious: are you happier with more sunshine? What even is time, anyway? What's it like to nurture a big idea into fruition? How do you talk to your boss when you're self-employed? Laura and Bay dive into the deepest conversations of purpose and share about their new bespoke leadership program, 🌿Wayfinders Leadership Circle 🟢 which is beginning to peek out into the world, much like an early spring daffodil.
