#334: How to Show Up, Even if You’re Afraid
In this episode, I’m talking about the importance of TRULY showing up to create the life we really want. We can be very ambivalent when it comes to relationships with others, but that same ambivalence exists within us when our NO’s and YES’s don’t come from an embodied place, and leaks into other areas of our lives. Stop delaying what you’re becoming, create the abundance you seek, give birth to your purpose and passion, and step fully into the opportunity that 2024 can be. Let it be the moment that everything changed. Show up. You can do this. You’ve got this.
