Call Me: Special's Monthly Virtual Meetups Are Back!

October's topic: Ambition!

Fall is here and I’m ready to bring back Special’s monthly virtual chats. I missed y’all!

The October meetup is happening on Thursday, October 3rd at 10am CST. Our monthly Zoom meetups are for paid subscribers, so please consider the upgrade if you aren’t one. They are intimate and lively and we go deep on topics, such as the Enneagram, recovery, creative work and midlife.

For our first call, I want to talk about something I’ve been noodling on and am writing about: Ambition. Mine has more or less left the building. I have some ideas about why (like brain chemistry), and I’m still working through my feelings about it (frustrated and also acceptance). But what is driving my curiosity (and why I want to compare notes) is how it’s allowing me to show up in a different way.

Here are some questions to think about:

• If you are in midlife (or beyond), does ambition still factor in?

• If it looks different than it did in your previous decade, how so?

• If it’s waning, how do you reconcile that with all things you’d still like to accomplish in your life?

• If you know your Enneagram number, is it aligning with your growth path?

• If not ambition, what has replaced it?

I’m so looking forward to exploring this topic. Hope to see you there! The Zoom link is below the paywall.
