A life of meaning is a life where you're taking responsibility for yourself and the fact that you're here to contribute to the world, that you have duties that you're responsible for upholding.
Imagine feeling lost in the digital age, searching for something deeper than the next social media update. That's where Emily Esfahani Smith steps in. In this episode of 'Ruthless Compassion with Dr. Marcia Sirota', Emily, a seasoned writer for top publications like The Atlantic and The New York Times, shares her wisdom on crafting a life filled with meaning.

She also sheds light on the balance between self-compassion and personal growth, emphasizing that it's okay to be a work in progress while still contributing positively to the world around you. If you've ever felt the pull between being authentic and fitting in, or wondered how to build resilience in tough times, this episode offers practical advice and heartfelt insights.
