Exploring ideas, perspectives, and conversations to inspire intentional living.
A podcast exploring intentional living.
The Everything Experiment® is driven by curiosity.
Through conversations and reflections, I explore the ideas, people, and perspectives that expand our understanding of what's possible in life.
My goal isn't to tell you how to live…
It's to help us all think more intentionally about the lives we're creating, and to continuously pursue one question:
What happens when we stop living by default... and start living by design?
Most of us spend years following paths we never consciously chose.
Expectations, habits, society, fear…
The Everything Experiment® exists to explore different aspects of life, not to tell you what’s right…
But to help you discover what's true for you.
Through keynotes and interactive conversations, Austen challenges audiences to question expectations, think differently, and become more intentional about the lives they're creating.
Drawing from personal stories, real-world experience, and conversations from The Everything Experiment®, each talk leaves audiences with practical questions to help them build lives that feel like their own.
Because lasting change doesn't begin with certainty…
It begins with curiosity.
I spent much of my life building a version of success that looked right from the outside, while feeling increasingly disconnected from who I really was.
For years, I couldn't understand why the same patterns kept showing up: anxiety, strained relationships, work that never felt quite right, and the constant feeling that I was living someone else's life instead of my own.
Everything changed when I began asking a different question:
Why am I building the life I'm building?
That question became the foundation for The Everything Experiment®, a lifelong exploration of identity, curiosity, intentional living, and what it truly means to author your own life.
