How do you know whether fear is telling you “This isn't right for me” or whether you're simply scared because you're moving toward something uncertain, unfamiliar, or important to you? It gets even trickier because fear and excitement can feel remarkably similar in our bodies. A racing heart, butterflies, nervous energy—those sensations don't necessarily come with instructions attached. In this episode, I'm talking about what happens when we mistake fear for an answer, the stories we attach to...

Have you ever asked so many people what they think that you eventually couldn't tell what you thought anymore? There's nothing wrong with asking for advice. Other people can offer information, experience and perspectives we may not have considered.

In this episode, I'm talking about what happens when we keep looking outside ourselves for the answer—especially when what we're really l...

We’ll look at why “I don’t know” doesn’t always mean you don’t know, how fear can disguise itself as confusion, and what happens when you ask so man...

We talk about what the mud phase actually feels like, why it's not a detour from your path but ...
