When change is forced upon us by life’s incalculable circumstances, our sudden loss of control over what seemed like a certainty can feel like a personal failure. We may have spent years of our lives planning for something that’s been cruelly booted out of reach — to the point that our very identities become untethered. So what can we do to reclaim a sense of purpose instead of spending the rest of our days mulling over what might have been?
On this episode, we’re joined by Maya Shankar, a cognitive scientist and host of the podcast A Slight Change of Plans about what she did when a fluke accident nixed her plans to become a career violinist — a dream she’d been pursuing since she was nine years old. Here, we discuss Maya’s unorthodox path to becoming a student of the famed Itzhak Perlman at Juilliard School of Music, the throughline of human connection that allowed her to pivot from violinist to academic to Chair of the White House Behavioral Science Team to podcasting, and her advice for those of us who need to adapt when life throws us a “slight change of plans.” Listen, learn, and enjoy!
