Ep. 34 - Get Out of Your Own Way

Oh this episode I reflect back on something Samantha Taylor was talking about when I chatted with her, getting in your own way. I really enjoyed the commentary and the responsibility that Samantha took on in our conversation in her success.

What would it look like if your biggest critic in life wasn't you? What if you leaned into believing in yourself a little bit?

Daily affirmations, figure out what really gets you fired up, practice creativity and practice letting go. Practice is something that we have to do to help our rigid selves move forward. We get stuck. We overanalyze. We get paralyzed, but what if you just let go a little bit. Take a different route home from work, try on a pair of shorts (that's right shorts, not pants because...ewww....have you met me.) that you would never in a million years wear. One year I wore all pastel shorts and it was weird and everyone pointed it out and wanted to talk about it. Until it wasn't. And then it was just regular ol' me again. That's what happens with habits and changes...they are scary at first, until they aren't.

Imagine if you just said yes a bit more often. Imagine if every time you looked in the mirror you saw a badass. Imagine if you listened to Episode 30 of this podcast where Lana Dingwall talked about their triumphs when they changed their perspectives on the risks it would be to LEAVE their job to the risks it would be to STAY in the their job. Getting out of their own way! Loved it. Or imagine if you listened to Episode 8 with Chantalle Clarkin where she talked about getting her 10 and 15 year pin for being at work and seeing that as a terrible sign and that she had lost her Chantalleness. She got out of her own way and started anew!

Point is, if you allow yourself to trust your gut, to stop standing in your own way who knows where you might end up.
