Dear You with Grace Kraaijvanger

In this special solo episode, host, Grace Kraaijvanger, shares a heartfelt letter she read at a live performance titled “Dear You.” In it, she acknowledges the unique potential and resilience that each of us as individuals offer this world and your unique ability to make a difference.  
Grace wrote this letter because the truth is that there is no one on this earth with your mix of knowledge, wisdom, pain, grief, experiences, and heartfelt truth. 
Grace gets deep with the inner-critic that lies within all of us and how we can start to shift our beliefs in ourselves and our actions in the world to reveal the most authentic humanity within.
What if in digging deeper as individuals, we create a bigger capacity for making a difference, for being of service to others, for creating contagious energy that inspires others to do the same? What if in following our intuition, saying yes to our dreams, and acting on what breaks our hearts, we could create the next chapter in our lives with meaning and intention that finally breaks us away from the “should's” and feels like the real you?  Listen in for Grace’s live, spoken-word letter titled “Dear You.”

Trailer | The Art of What’s Next

Welcome to the Art of What's Next. I'm your host, Grace Kraaijvanger. 
In this show, we're diving into the ways we seek meaning, purpose, and guidance on what to do next, especially when it feels muddy, or unclear. 
In each episode, I aim to be your friend, your sister, your mentor, your confidant, and your fellow truth seeker, sharing insights, tools and mindset shifts that have helped both me and my guests find our way when we didn't know what to do next. 
It's not your passion, or your calling, or your wisdom, or your talent.  It's not your education, or your upbringing, or your grief, or your truth. It's the epicenter of all of those things combined. It's combining all of the experience and pain and talent and skills and know how to move forward in a way that only you can. It's as unique as your DNA. No one can copy it, or chart the path for you. 
To create your meaningful next chapter, you'll need the art of what's next.
