As we design our next chapters, we may feel pulled in a lot of different directions, feeling tempted to say yes to everything that comes our way. But change and growth is not just about adding more things on our plates - it’s about being discerning with our time, energy, and resources. In this episode, we acknowledge that less is often more.
This podcast is for you if you believe that:
● Embracing a growth mindset and being brave enough to suck at something new is a must.
● Fear should be acknowledged but shouldn’t stop you from doing epic shit!
● It should be a “No” unless it’s a “Hell Yes!”
● There’s more than enough for everyone.
● Your energy will tell you where to go next. Listen and trust the process.
● People are so much more than titles and the boxes others put them in.
