Kacie Main shares her thoughts on leaning into it.Episode 1278: Lean Into It by Kacie Main on Getting Out of Your Comfort Zone & Embracing LifeKacie Main's affinity for writing started as a child, writing arguably overly emotional letters to family, friends, and boyfriends, and even an anonymous poem to a widowed neighbor. The first paper she wrote in college was nominated for a first-year writing award yet she still didn't think to pursue writing as a career. She spent years successfully wandering through jobs but always trying to figure out "what I want to be when I grow up." As her career path zigged and zagged, writing was always there, lurking in the background patiently waiting it's turn. Then at 32 years old, the patience ran out. She didn't sit down to write her book, it jumped out of her at perhaps the worst, best, most confusing, and most liberating time of her life.The original post is located here: https://www.kaciemain.com/realtalk/leanintoitVisit Me Online at OLDPodcast.com Learn more about your ad choices.

She spent decades of her life people-pleasing and drowning in guilt and shame over parts of her that she thought were unworthy. By her late-20s, she found herself passionless and riddled with anxiety - and she knew she needed a change. Instead of creating a multi-layered plan on how to attain more peace, she started small - with a walking meditation practice. Those 15 minutes of strolling in silence down a tree-lined residential street led her to where she is today - facing her fears of imperfection and doing it anyway.The original post is located here: http://moreofwhatmattersblog.com/the-4-reasons-youre-holding-on/Visit Me Online at OLDPodcast.com Learn more about your ad choices.
