If you don’t know where to start with your big idea, I have some questions and practical steps that will help you take action in the right direction.

Once you have that, figure out the fastest way to launch it and start to address the little voice inside of you that tries to keep you stuck in the planning phase.

In the last two years, I've been on a journey to unravel what sparks feelings within me that I’m not enough or I’m not taking enough action towards my goals. By getting curious about the root of these fears, I realized that I was using them as motivators, even though they led to physical and mental burnout.  In today’s episode, I’m sharing a starting point for asking deeper questions and discovering where this “not enoughness” and lack mindset comes from. When you start to explore the gap between who you are now and who you're meant to become, that’s where the real growth and magic happens.    In this episode we talk about: Questions to guide deeper reflection and journal prompts around this topic  What I realized about my own feelings of not being or doing enough  How to unpack complicated feelings around self-worth and productivity  Why I often mute or unfollow people on social media who reinforce negative self-talk  The sweet spot of striving for more while also loving who you are in the present moment   If you loved today’s episode, please share your favorite takeaways or your own systems and processes by screenshotting this episode and tagging us on Instagram!
