What if the secret to personal growth lies in the simple act of staying curious? Join me, Carmen Cauthen, on this exploratory journey as I share my love for lifelong learning and the treasures it has unlocked in my life. From an extended college journey fueled by a passion for legislative work to discovering new insights through everyday activities like cooking and reading, I highlight how continuous learning enriches not just our minds but our communities as well. Together, we'll explore the profound impact of nurturing curiosity, asking "why," and how these practices can enhance our decision-making and bring personal fulfillment.But the journey doesn’t stop there. I also delve into the fascinating world of family history, uncovering hidden stories that shape our personal legacies. By sharing tales of my aunts, pioneering home extension agents in early 1900s North Carolina, I emphasize the importance of understanding our origins and the surprising insights that historical exploration can bring. Whether it's learning practical skills or unearthing family stories that were left untold, staying engaged with new information helps us grow and inspires those around us. By the end of this episode, you’ll find yourself eager to learn something new every day and share that knowledge within your own circles.====================================Carmen Wimberley Cauthen is an author, speaker, and lover of history, Black history in particular.
