Apple Podcasts | Spotify | Android Devices | RSS

In Our Conversation Today, We’re Exploring:

• Two examples of situations we’ve personally experienced to showcase how often we get in our own way

• Why we need to redefine our idea of who we believe is ready and worthy of doing the thing we want to do ourselves

• What your jealousy is telling you about yourself and your desires

• Evaluating your desire for self-preservation and your avoidance of taking risks

How you can adjust your role in the drama to increase your chances of actually helping the situation

How often do you stop yourself from going after something you want?

How often is your reason for stopping yourself related to who you are or what you’re capable of?

So often in life, we find ourselves wanting to do something like writing a book, applying for a new opportunity at work, or starting our own business, but we question who we are to even think of going after those things.

After all, aren’t there already enough books? Isn’t someone else more qualified for that position at work? Didn’t those entrepreneurs make it work because they had more of a financial cushion when starting their business than you do?

These are the stories we tell ourselves to avoid risks and keep ourselves safe in our comfort zone. But, what opportunities or experiences are you missing out on because you never take those risks?

Listen in as we explore these questions on the podcast this week.
