A Congruent Life


ACL 059: Dianne Bischoff James

June 11, 2015

Dianne Bischoff James found herself challenged by a "midlife reboot" in confronting the truth that she had built a life that she wasn't truly proud of. She chronicles her journey of reinvention and distills the practical lessons she learned in a book titled The Real Brass Ring: Change Your Life Course Now.

In this episode of A Congruent Life, Dianne shares about:

realizing that she felt like a liar when describing herself inauthentically,
coming to grips with fear, and learning to turn it into an asset,
coping with fear of rejection, isolation from her tribe, and pushing through to acceptance,
"logical mysticism" and distilling her learning into rules for happy living,
a reminder that "someone's got to do the laundry,"
living out the principle that we ultimately have the choice to create the lives we want.
