Episode Summary
Podcast 050| A Celiac in Italy with Catalin Varela
“I’ve always seen the world as being the best classroom.” 4:54
“I made this promise to myself that I was going to wholeheartedly go after everything that lights me up regardless of how difficult or how risky it might be because I got so face to face with the fragility of life at such a young age and that was wildly clarifying for me.” 14:41
“Fearless is an interesting word to me because it’s not that I don’t have any fears, it’s that most of the time I hear the fear arise and I think, “Ok thanks for your concern” and just do it anyway.” 15:20
“None of us are guaranteed anything beyond this very moment.” 15:52
“You will always be able to find a reason why now is not a good time because, truth be told, it is never a perfect time to pick up and reinvent your life, but at some point, you have to decide that you want it more than you’re afraid of it and go for it…” 26:22
