Life can be just ok, or it can be ‘hold my ice-cream I’m going skinny dipping’ exceptional!
Maybe things feel like they are ‘good enough’ and deep down, you know you really want more. It can be easy to fall into blaming external factors—like your past, the economy, your genetics, even the moon OR your menstrual cycle—but here’s the truth: by doing so, you’re giving away your power and choosing mediocre.
The key to that life you REALLY want - radical self-responsibility!
How do you make the change, stop using external factors as excuses, and start owning every choice you make.
In this episode of Inside the Mind, Allie May and Jen Forster tear apart the blame game and challenge you to take full ownership for your life.
Episode Highlights:
(01:15) - Allie and Jen discuss the difference between living a mediocre life as opposed to one that lights us the fuck up
(05:45) - Jen breaks down how blame often disguises itself in excuses like, “I’m not upbeat and perky because, you know, there’s a full moon,” and why it’s critical to stop handing over your agency.
(08:30) - The concept of response-ability—how you have the power to choose your response to any situation, whether it’s the lunar cycle or your PMS, and why it’s a game-changer for your mindset.
(12:10) - Allie shares her practice of owning her feelings with no reasons or justifications: “I’m not coming to the event. Full stop. No excuses, no blame.”
(16:05) - The difference between holding yourself accountable and feeling like a victim. Jen and Allie explore how true feminine leadership is rooted in radical self-responsibility, even during tough emotional or physical cycles.
Action Items:
Reflect on areas in your life where you're blaming external factors. How can you take full ownership instead?
Next time you’re tempted to give a reason for why you’re saying no, stop. Just say no, without excuses or justifications.
Take a step today towards something that scares you—something you’ve been avoiding because you didn’t want to face the responsibility of failure or success.
