Today I'm talking about The Phrase "The Grass is Always Greener on the Other Side," and a recent run in I had on this mindset. Through navigating these feelings in my own life, I realized there were three problems that get us in this mindset. In today's episode, I present these three problems or "stories we're telling ourselves" and suggest new narratives to replace them and move past this mindset. We talk about 1. The issue of wanting to run from tough circumstances or conflict2. Comparison & Contentment3. "finding" an elusive "calling or purpose" vs. finding purpose right where you're at.I can't wait to chat with you about this all, friend! I hope you enjoy the episode!LinksFind Desirae on Instagram (and all podcast updates) Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
