We all have a list of excuses, but what’s the real reason you keep standing in your own way? And how do you stop stalling to let the adventure of life unfold? No matter how much fear and discomfort a decision holds, pushing past your comfort zone to accomplish something far outweighs the rest. In this episode, you’ll learn how to overcome resistance and stop stalling for a more adventurous and fulfilling life - even if you can’t see the big picture yet. Show highlights include: How to silence your “what will people think” demon and make the moves that feel most authentic to you (3:30) What an ‘empty plate’ really looks like - and why creating space for the things you want starts today (5:40) Why waiting to make a decision steals years off your success (and how to get the push you need to do something now) (8:40) How to get rid of the ‘crystal ball’ mentality and sit happily in your decisions (even if you’re uncertain of what they hold) (11:33) ***FREE EVENTS, RESOURCES & SOCIAL LINKS*** Feel super busy and burned out?
