The Best Years of Your Life Are Ahead of You: A No BS Approach to Feeling Stuck

You know what you want and how to start. But you never make progress. Here’s my wake up call for you today: What’s holding you back is never what you think. Today I am coaching a woman who says: I can’t make myself do what I need to do. I feel like I’m in quicksand. Every time I try to move…I sink. She has: -put on an extra 30 pounds -left her relationship with herself in the gutter -no longer does the things that make her happy -broken promises to herself time and again I bet you can relate. This is a must-listen if you want to: be healthier… go back to school.. find your dream home… make new friends… go for that promotion… write a book… land your dream job… But you just can’t make yourself take the actions you need to take. Stop frustrating yourself by trying to solve the wrong problem. Your dreams matter. Today you’re learning where to find the right solution. Pull up a seat for a conversation with a listener like you as we uncover what’s really holding her back.
