Have you ever felt on a gut level that you've been distracting yourself with "surface-level" goals—rather than being passionately pulled toward what truly fulfills you? In this episode of Insights At The Edge, Tami Simon joins Diana Hill, PhD, a leading psychologist and the author of Wise Effort. With them, you'll learn and practice some of Diana's most effective, research-backed exercises for discovering your heart's deepest hidden motivations—and your overlooked "genius gifts" for empowering those desires.

The difference between surface goals and deep motivation.

3 questions for getting unstuck from unhealthy relationships, work situations, and addictive behaviors.
How to identify your "genius qualities" (yes, you have plenty of them!)
An incredibly effective one-minute exercise: "To reveal your deepest values, just follow your pain."
