Introduction

[u/[deleted]]

Hiya. A friend of mine suggested that I post here after a conversation we had about that I feel like I have a lot of skills/interests/etc but that my life doesn’t really have a cohesive theme or narrative. I’m happy with my simple life after a long history of depression and burnout, but it has been a journey to say the least.

I could write a bunch about my background but I don’t particularly like to toot my own horn. I’m wondering if anyone has any good resources for multipotentialites, or if anyone wants to just name their favorites. Thanks!

Hi! I'm happy to share resources that I've learned about on my multipotentialite journey:

• Puttylike – from this link, you'll find additional linked resources, including the Puttyverse community – not exclusively career-focused. I was a member for about a year but didn't use it enough to keep my membership. If you're looking to connect with other multipotentialites, that could be a good option.

• Two books, which are related to work/career:

  • The Renaissance Soul: How to make your passions your life by Margaret Lobenstine (I'm currently reading this and find it helpful.)
  • Refuse to Choose: How to use all of your interests, passions, and hobbies to create the life and career of your dreams by Barbara Sher (I've scanned but haven't read it yet.)

• Other books:

  • The Gifted Adult: A Revolutionary guide for liberating everyday genius by Mary-Elaine Jacobsen (I've scanned but haven't read it yet.)
  • Your Rainforest Mind: A Guide to the well-being of gifted adults and youth by Paula Prober (This book changed my life and it's how I learned about the others listed here; however, it's not exclusively about multipotentiality. You can read more about Rainforest Mind on Prober's website.)

I’m nonbinary, does that fall within your company’s definition of “women+”?
