In this episode of Building Thinkers, I sit down with Adis Sophie to talk about how to bring more flow and creativity into our work. After spending years in the corporate world, Adis now leads How to Design Your Life workshops in Amsterdam, helping people create more meaningful careers and lives.

We dive into what it means to find work that truly energizes you, the role of intuition in making career decisions, and how to break free from limiting beliefs that no longer serve us. Adis shares insights on personal growth, the power of connection, and how small, intentional shifts can create big changes over time.

We also explore how joy and creativity impact the workplace and why acceptance and small steps are key to lasting transformation. Plus, Adis shares some of her favorite books and podcasts for anyone looking to deepen their own journey of self-discovery and career fulfillment.

More About Building Thinkers:

I'm your host, Tracy Clark, and this is where potential becomes reality through deliberate curiosity, reflection, practice, and play. The Building Thinkers podcast is based on the realization that there's exponential potential in the things we build.

And so, in my little corner of the internet and podcasting land, I want to take my 12 favorite problems, these are my constant curiosities, and I want to go deeper. I want to build thinkers. This is a community of multi-potentialites who may be disoriented by all the possibilities of success we envision but haven't yet achieved.

If any of that sounds like you, come listen in. Welcome to the Building Thinkers podcast.
