This year, I'm turning Buddhist, meditating with a sangha (a community of Buddhist practitioners), bowing in the morning, and taking lessons from Buddhist teachers.

This happened because I started reading Billy Seol's Substack (https://substack.com/@julylifecoach), which he writes every single day (impressive!)

I've come to consider Billy as a kind of spiritual god brother.

In this deep dive into the intersection of Buddhism, coaching, and personal growth, Billy takes us through his journey of:

• Early experiences with depression
• Career in tech companies (Apple, Disney)
• Searching for a comprehensive approach to understanding life and ending suffering
• Embracing Buddhism as a practical life approach

And we have a brainy debate about applying Buddhist principles to real-life workplace challenges for women and people of marginalized identities:

• Dealing with discrimination and marginalization
• Finding agency under challenging situations
• Doing hard things on purpose as a path to growth
