Can You Really Make a Bad Decision? Let’s Debunk Your Fear of Failure! (Ep 7)

Explicit content warning

06/23/24 • 41 min

Decision-making can be such a scary thing because it often comes with doubt, fear of the future, and definitely fear of failure.
Let’s entertain this idea: when we’re making a decision, regardless of the type, we picture all potential scenarios, ask for guidance from friends or a higher power, and approach the decision without fully knowing the outcome—maybe even at the last minute after much thought. Do you see the common ground here?
In this episode of Hustle Heart, Alex talks about the pressure of making the right decisions and its connection with fear. She dives into the importance of letting go of the need for perfection and embracing the messiness of life. Because, if you think about it, can you really make wrong decisions?
Alex encourages us to trust our inner compass and start making decisions from a place of inner knowing and excitement. She also highlights the power of learning from our failures by sharing a little teaser of her first business and how it “failed.”
In this episode:

Let go of the pressure of perfection and embrace the messiness of life.
Trust yourself and make decisions from a place of inner knowing and excitement.
Failures are opportunities for learning and growth.
Focus on what you want and allow life to be messy.

The question I leave you with today is one I ask myself: Do you really want to keep making your decisions based on fear, or are you ready to fully trust your gut?
Love,
Cinthya Creativa, Alex’s Podcast Manager.

The Ongoing Journey Of Embracing Radical Self-Ownership… And How Alex’s Heart Went From Broken To Cracked Open (Ep 6)

At Hustle Heart Podcast, we strive to keep the tone as authentic and honest as possible because we believe that a community striving for success can only be built by embracing both our light and our shadows.

In this episode, Alex gives us an update since the last release. In episode 5, Alex shared how her relationship was going through a rough patch, and how that experience opened up the doors for:

Revisiting old wounds
Identifying patterns that were no longer serving her
Allowing herself to dream her big vision and embrace the work she wants to bring to the world

Consider episode 6 a continuation, but with an Alex who brings her own life journey to the table, helping you stay accountable in the ongoing journey of healing to handle joy, the process of surrender, and taking radical self-ownership of your path in business and life.

What I love about Alex, and this episode in particular, is something I haven’t seen or heard from many other life coaches out there: she knows she is a work in progress. She understands that self-ownership and radical responsibility are ongoing tasks until the end of our days. She faces her shadows head-on.

Ideas and questions to reflect on after listening to this episode:

Revisit the last few weeks of your life and name the power moves you have been taking. Don’t sell yourself short; we know you are making huge strides, even if it doesn’t feel like it.

Love,

Cinthya Creativa, Alex’s Podcast Manager.

Consistency Should Not be the Goal! If You Feel Frustrated by Your Inconsistency or Lack of Following Through, This Episode will Help You Hit Your Real Goals (Ep 8)

Isn't it the worst feeling when you set out to do something and you just keep falling short? You feel you are always being inconsistent or maybe just lack follow-through.
Have you ever thought "Why am I always getting in my own way, what is wrong with me?!" It's the worst! It feels just as if you're letting yourself down, almost as if you were your own worst enemy.
I get it. I feel the same way from time to time. I want to enjoy so bad the results of my progress so badly, but consistency seems to be a rookie path because it's hard to be strict when following a plan, a strategy, or even a regular schedule.
In this episode Alex shares her thoughts on consistency and trust me, this will be very different then how you are currently thinking about this, challenging you to redefine what it means to keep showing up inconsistent or lacking following through.
She’ll be sharing how to Break Through this inconsistency trap, seeing consistency not as the goal but as the means empowering you to hit your real goals!
She’ll talk you through the following five steps, noting them here for you so you can reflect on these questions after tuning into this episode.
Questions to Reflect on:
1. What is it you desire?
2. What's the consistency struggle? What are you actually struggling with? What is not happening?
3. Explain to yourself why does it matter?
4. Could less be more?
5. What are other ways that could get to your desire that feels fun and exciting? What you're currently doing is the only way?
Sometimes it’s not about forcing yourself to be consistent, thinking there’s something wrong with you. Sometimes it’s not you that needs changing, but the goal itself and the steps you are taking towards those goals so you will be pulled towards it from excitement. Alex invites you to start thinking outside the box and make it fun!
