Being sanely ambitious with the help of the 'Ten Percent Happier' podcast

Over the weekend, I had the pleasure of rewatching my two favorite movies from the 2010s: "The Intern" starring Robert De Niro and Anne Hathaway and of course, the cult favorite, "The Devil Wears Prada." And while I only intended for these movies to just play in the background as I went on with my weekend chores, I found myself forgetting about the chores and remaining solely focused on the screen.

Both films reminded me of my own career journey only because when I was younger I often turned to the arts aka film and literature to make sense of what was happening in my own world. The Devil Wears Prada brought me back to the days of being a young Public Relations executive who was forever running around in high heels while packing PR boxes, managing events, and doing everything but force wonderful media people to attend a rather boring event about real estate. It reminded me of my desire to wear nice clothes, be in those heels, and own the elusive Prada bag one day. The Intern on the other hand is now one that I can relate to at 35. When I first watched it eight years ago, I couldn't quite understand the depth of what Anne Hathaway's character was going through but oh boy, I do now.
