The Stories We Tell Ourselves with John Geraghty
Episode description
When John Geraghty was 29, he looked at his life and realized the path he was on wasn’t leading anywhere he wanted to go. Struggling with alcohol, he decided to change everything. That choice set him on a journey of growth and helping others find what lights them up.
In this conversation, John shares what he’s learned about why the traditional idea of retirement often leaves people feeling lost, and how discovering your strengths and staying curious can bring meaning to every stage of life.
We talk about how small steps, honest self-reflection, and contribution to others can create a life you’re excited to live.
We discussed:
Why leisure doesn’t lead to lasting fulfillment
How to discover your “zone of genius” to build a life that lights you up
The importance of identity beliefs in shaping what’s possible
Why the idea of flow matters for purpose and happiness
Why your most rewarding years may still lie ahead
