Join me in Episode 89 as I talk about how you're sabotaging your career, your growth, and giving up on your dreams when you let anxiety make your decisions for you. I'm sharing how you can use the feeling of anxiety in your body to check and challenge your thoughts, find evidence that you're already succeeding, and take steps forward even and especially when you feel anxious - on purpose.You want to grow and expand - to get the promotion, to build your business, to have time for more fun but it feels scary.You see all the roadblocks that you think are too bigYou have great ideas on what you want but they feel impossible because of where you are now - you brain only has the past to go on and what you’re living in now was built on the past.You feel anxious when you think about trying new thingsSpending money that you haven’t made yetAsking for what you want because you’re afraid of what someone else will say or think about you for asking.You keep doing side projects that feel productive but when it comes to promoting yourself, you hold back. You work but you don’t make changes because they make you feel anxious - again based on what you think you’re capable of or what other people will think of you.You have to learn to feel anxious and not believe what you think. You have to learn to choose the things that feel uncomfortable and believe in yourself before anyone else will believe in you - even if you have the cutest cupcakes on the planet - yes, you’ll sell some but you won’t grow and eventually you’ll fade away only because you aren’t truly believing in yourself.Learn how to calm your body and stop thinking.Decide what you want to believe about yourself and start gathering evidence to show you that you already have it.Make a first step plan that makes you uncomfortable and take the step - even and especially if it scares you.Repeat.You use your problems and anxiety as a notification and motivation instead of rolling around in feeling defeated, angry, or small - which are okay to feel but not a place you want to or can stay in for long if you truly want to grow and expand personally or in your career.Help others find this resource so they can calm, confident, and have more fun by leaving a ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ review wherever you listen.

I recently saw thread by @shanila.sattar who said, “Unpopular healer reality is that many folks get addicted to healing (aka always finding something to fix, improve, change)  Although self-inquiry is amazing , a constant state of “not good enoughness” is really a trap" And it got me thinking.Last year I was in a cycle of trying to fix myself - not just the 2023 version of me, but past me as well, all in an effort to feel less anxious, incapable, or not good enough. Episode 84 is about how constantly trying to "fix" yourself, to change your life, and to be more and have more is not only killing your confidence but it's keeping you anxious. Help others find this resource so they can calm, confident, and have more fun by leaving a ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ review wherever you listen.

I had been wanting to do this for a long time but always found an excuse not to get the pictures done.  I'm so glad I went but let me tell you, I was nervous!I did the full spectrum of anxious thinking.I overthought what to wear and how to be, shopping, Googling and changing clothes for hours.I kept wondering what I looked like or what other people would think.I criticized myself because I don't look 17 anymore and pictured my face looking like Quasimodo.And made myself more awkward by shaming myself for not knowing how to pose or where the heck to put my arms.All of that worrying and I love my new photos and had so much fun!In this episode, I'm showing how jumping into something as simple as a photo shoot can bring up all the anxious feelings and reactions, have you repeating  negative things you say or think about yourself, and how you can let go and HAVE  FUN, even when you feel awkward and uncomfortable.
