I’m celebrating episode 50 of The Unlock Lab by sharing what it really means to say yes to your big dreams, whether that’s booking a solo trip to the Caribbean or stepping into something that once felt totally out of reach. In this episode, I’m telling two personal stories about pushing past resistance and embracing the unknown. From giving myself permission to rest and recharge to taking a bold step toward a lifelong dream, I break down the mindset shifts, the inner work, and the actions that make dreams happen. If you’ve been holding yourself back, consider this your sign, it’s time to trust yourself, shake off the fear, and go for it.
Episode Highlights:
The power of recognising what you truly need and saying yes to it, even when it feels indulgent.
Reframing fear and resistance. How I went from an immediate "no" to stepping into an opportunity that aligns with my bigger vision.
The importance of taking action, even when the path isn't clear, and learning to detach from the outcome.
Quotables:
[00:09:00]
"I knew it was a yes for me because I would rather do this thing and be disappointed, even feel rejected, than not give myself the opportunity to play the biggest possible game I could play in my own life."
[00:13:51]
"I believe in my body that if I can dream it, then I can be it. But if I don’t push the envelope of my comfort, if I don’t allow myself to be vulnerable at the risk of disappointment, then I’m just talking a big game but not doing anything about it."
[00:17:18]
"Now is the time to tap into your potential. Now is the time to say yes to your big dreams. Say yes to the action that is right in front of you, even if you have no idea if that’s the actual pathway to where you want to be, because I believe the universe will nudge you toward what’s meant for you."
