The world may try to tell you otherwise, but you have the sovereignty to choose the kind of life you want to live.

When we think of improv, we often picture shows like Whose Line Is It Anyway? or Saturday Night Live. While improvisation on TV can be incredibly entertaining, choosing to improvise in life by saying “yes, and…” can move you away from the scripted path others expect and toward a life that truly feels right for you.

In today’s episode, author, artist, entrepreneur, and improviser Amanda Hirsch joins Jay for an inspiring off-the-cuff conversation. Amanda shares her story of reclaiming her own life and offers practical tips and exercises you can start using today. Together, they explore how asking “why?” (or “Hey, wait”) and making a “new choice” can better align your desires, passions, and energy.

In this episode, Amanda talks about:

• Choosing a different life path than the scripted one in front of you
• Daring to ask “Why?”... Sometimes more than once
• Noticing what is a “yes” and what is a “no”
• Making a “new choice” beyond the practical and obvious
