About this listen

Discover fascinating people, from all walks of life, just waiting to connect with you, the listener. The MultiPod is a podcast that explores career, identity, work/life balance, variety, and people living lives full of options. In short: multipotentialites, a term coined by the author and intellectual Emilie Wapnick. Multipotentialites like to do many things, and recoil from the pressure to specialize and choose "the one thing." While this applies in particular to work and career choices, it also plays out in our hobbies and interests, our education, and how we choose to spend our time. As you can imagine, this can lead to some pretty deep, existential moments, as we grapple with this identity. The MultiPod features conversations with guests that revolve around their story, their perspective on multipotentiality, their work or career, their interests and how they bind it all together. This is a podcast about connection, inspiration and opportunity. Hear something that piques your curiosity? Have common ground with someone on the show? Recognize how they can help you with your needs and interests? If so, your call to action is to reach out and contact the guest. Let them know you exist, and make that connection! Multipotentialites live unconventional lives, by design and by instinct. The MultiPod is here to empower you in living life on your terms.Copyright 2026 The MultiPod Podcast Careers Economics Personal Success Social Sciences

  • Safety vs. Stepping Into the Unknown, with Dawn Wilson
    Feb 1 2026

    The MultiPod is also on video! You can watch today's episode on YouTube here.

    ---
    "I was stuffed in the box, but the box couldn't contain me."

    Dawn Wilson has always known she's a multipotentialite, pretty much from day one: "I'm not a pick-a-lane kind of person."

    She has navigated a career as an ESL teacher, something that is a great option for multipods, with all the variety and opportunity therein.

    But she joins us today to talk about getting out of that life, because: it's time.

    Dawn is building a coaching business, Our Sacred Wild, which guides people towards a path of self-awareness and spiritual growth. Whatever spirituality means to you, her process supports you in living in alignment with the truth of who you are, and from there, transformation, peace, health, wellness and abundance.

    That's the ethos of it, but then there's also the practical, nuts & bolts side of it. How does one get to the point, not just financially but psychologically, to where they can leave a job and an old life behind, and commit to something new? To go from employee to entrepreneur?

    Our conversation today revolves around this question, from the particularly meta perspective of someone who is in essence living what they teach. Is that a prerequisite? Not necessarily, but it certainly makes things that much more interesting!

  • Insights on Writing for Neurodivergent Multipotentialites, with Céol
    Jan 15 2026

    Céol is an international writer, currently working on two projects: a dystopian novel and a utopian novel, worlds where autistic and neurodivergent people feel welcome. Do these two novels intersect and play off of each other?


    That's just one of the areas we explore in our conversation today.


    Céol and I chat about the nature and mindset of writing, is it a struggle, is it a joy, could it be both, and maybe even at the same time?!


    Our conversation focuses on writing for neurodivergent multipotentialites, and Céol shares their different approach to deadlines and coworking, not to mention how to approach publishing. There's even a touch of sewing thrown in for context!


    A novel is typically a pretty mammoth task, something that can take many months or years to complete. This is not so much an episode for the NaNoWriMo crowd - neurodivergent multipotentialite authors may want to set their own pace instead. And Céol helps guide us through some good activities and techniques.


    "Thinking about your novel is writing your novel, and you should think about it as such."


    How to Contact Céol:


    Write to Céol, share your feedback and insight, and maybe even discuss collaboration - ceol-u [at] proton.me
