Name Your Fear To See What You Value

In this Tiger Sisters episode, Jean and Cherie revisit one of the most shared conversations in our community: how to stop settling without blowing up your entire life. This episode is both a mirror and a roadmap — designed to help you get honest with yourself, listen to your body, and make intentional decisions about the year ahead.

We’re bringing this episode back because this is the exact moment people quietly lock in another year of a life that feels… fine. And you deserve more than fine.

We share:
✅ The simple question that reveals whether you’re settling
✅ Why your body knows the answer before your brain does
✅ How to get honest with yourself without burning everything down
✅ Why “stop settling” applies to careers, relationships, and identity
✅ How small decisions today quietly shape your next year
✅ Why this episode resonated so deeply with our audience
