After unexpectedly losing his job as an advertising executive, Erik Proulx embraced documentary film-making, and made a compelling film called Lemonade about several people who – in Erik’s words – lost their jobs and discovered their callings.

In this episode of A Congruent Life, Erik shares reflections about his journey as a creative professional, including:

• 
  
• learning to separate who you are from what you do,
  
• perspective on making inspiration actionable,
  
• not knowing how to accomplish a vision, but trusting that the necessary help will show up when it’s needed,
  
• paying attention to the inner voice that urges us to pursue a significant project,
  
• learning not to simply swap one identity for another, but rather embracing that the sum of our experiences make us who we are.
