Show Notes: How do you fully EMBRACE your personal growth and push through adversity like a total BOSS? Personal growth and overcoming adversity are two sides of the same coin. Life is always going to throw challenges our way; testing our strength, resilience, and DETERMINATION. How we navigate through those obstacles is what SHAPES us. A big turning point for me was realizing my own potential. Once I started OWNING my strengths and believing in what I’m capable of, I could set bigger goals and go after them with CONFIDENCE. Don't wait for the perfect moment. CREATE IT. Push past your limits and see what you’re capable of!

Show Notes: WOW, this conversation hit me in a way I didn’t expect. Talking with Anu Gupta, author of “Breaking Bias: Where Stereotypes and Prejudices Come From - and the Science-Backed Method to Unravel Them” and Founder of BE MORE with Anu, opened my eyes to just how sneaky bias can be in our lives. I’ve been calling myself out on limiting beliefs lately, but realizing that bias is woven into so many little choices we make–that was huge. The big takeaway for me? We can unlearn these habits. We can SHIFT our thinking, show ourselves some compassion, and start rewriting the stories we’ve been carrying around for way too long. Bias isn’t a life sentence. With the right tools, we can break through it and start living with a whole lot more CLARITY, CONFIDENCE, and CONNECTION. I’m fired up to keep learning and growing, and I hope you are too!If You Liked This Episode You Might Also Like These Episodes:#421: GO For It: Shattering Limits in Life & Business with Heather!#411: From Setbacks to BREAKTHROUGHS: Create Confidence In Any Situation With Heather!#408: BEST OF - The Power of Changing Your HABITS: My Favorite Strategies for Career & Relationship Growth with Amy Morin, Katy Stoka, & John Assaraf

Show Notes: What’s REALLY holding you back from the life you want? It’s not just about working harder—you need to EMBRACE empathy, forgiveness, and TRUST the journey. When you let go of grudges, you open up space for growth. Holding onto the past only blocks the good things waiting for you. In relationships, empathy and active listening build trust and deeper connections. If you trust the process, you face challenges with confidence, knowing everything works out in the end. Embrace forgiveness this week and radiate positivity to attract POSITIVITY and SUCCESS.
