Getting Out of Your Own Damn Way: How to Recognize What’s Really Holding You Back

by | Jan 24, 2024 | Podcasts

We make excuses. We blame other people. We come up with all sorts of reasons to say “maybe later”, “no”- to talk ourselves out of choices that help us grow and realize possibilities. We rationalize our way into being and staying stuck.

The reasons and excuses we use are blockers- the tip of the proverbial iceberg. What’s underneath the blockers is far more significant- just like the iceberg.

This week, we’re exploring three blockers that the lion’s share of the high achieving women I know, love, and coach have recognized and overcome. And, we’ll talk about three mindfulness practices you can put into motion to get unstuck- if it’s important to you.
