This week’s GoalChat got a title upgrade during the ep. I talked about Passion Pursuits with Kathy Berardi, PR strategist and storyteller; Linda Fisk of LeadHERship Global, which empowers women to pursue their passions; and Lawrence Loh, a doctor, educator, and writer. All three come at passion pursuits from a place of excitement and enthusiasm.
The trio shared their take on passion projects, its essential role in quality of life, and more.
Define Passion Project
- Linda: It’s something you do whether or not there is monetary compensation. It’s a calling
- Kathy: It’s a Passion Pursuit! Inventing something, writing something, more quality time, being in service, etc.
- Lawrence: It is something you are called to do AND it is something that can change over time. It’s digging deeper
How to Identify Your Passion
- Kathy: Look at the people around you – from your past, online – who inspired/inspires you? What are some of the things they do? Work on other people’s projects, spend time in their environment
- Lawrence: Start with yes! Also, do what you are good at and then do the opposite of what comes naturally; for instance, if you are an extrovert, try journaling
- Linda: Start recognizing what you love in your life right now. Your passion pursuit might be an extension of it

Goals
- Kathy: Consider what you wish to pursue, read about it, and look for a way to do it in a community online or in person
- Linda: Be playful about your goals. Stop navigating alone
- Lawrence: Take something you are stuck at – reframe your perspective, do something, share it with others
Final Thoughts
- Lawrence: Get started
- Kathy: A life worth living is a passion worth pursuing
- Linda: The holidays provide a beautiful time to slow down, pause, and reflect.
