“Change is inevitable,” they say, but it’s really one of those easier-said-than-done kind of deals. Sometimes you get the exciting change, sometimes you get the heartbreaking ones, and sometimes you are dealt with those that leave you feeling meh. So, let’s talk about it! Let’s talk about why you are 100% allowed to change over time and advocate for your own character development.In this episode, Caitlin Liz Fisher opens up about their own experiences with change, from navigating the depths of depression to rediscovering their true passions and purpose. Caitlin reminds us that we don't have to follow a predetermined script – we're allowed to forge our own paths, make mistakes, and start over whenever we need to.
You Will Learn:
The importance of advocating for your mental health and trying different medications if necessary.
The benefits of maintaining consistent self-care routines, such as journaling and spiritual practices, and how these can impact your well-being.
Why it’s never too late to start over and pursue new passions or paths, regardless of age or past experiences.
Understanding and navigating the dangers of self-judgment and the importance of reconnecting with your values and purpose.
Episode Wisdom Nuggies:
💬 "Even what you really deeply want is allowed to change over time, because you are allowed to change over time."
💬 “And so many societal expectations stop us from deciding that we can do something different, and that we can go off the script handed to us.
💬 “There is not just one opportunity to try and then stick the landing. You can do new things or old things or whatever thing you want. Basically whenever you want to! And believing that it’s available to you is the first step.”
💬 “If I can be that patient with plants. Can I be that patient? Can I be that patient with myself?“
💬 “You can start over at any time. You can replant yourself. You can do it. Okay? I love you. And there's nothing you can do about it!”
