118: Taking Risks and Reframing Failure
So often we avoid taking a step forward toward our desires because of ego, trauma, or the subconscious stories that keep us stuck in our patterns.
That’s why doing the work to allow yourself to be with what is, notice your patterns, and shift them is essential to doing the things that you’re afraid of.
This week, I’m diving deep into the idea of failure and the power of taking risks. I explore "future tripping," the ego's desire to keep us small, and how past traumas can create subconscious mechanisms that hold us back.
Ready to do that thing you’re scared of? Join me for a powerful episode on the importance of holding a vision of what you desire, listening to your intuition, and seeing failure as a gift so you can regulate your nervous system - and then leap.
I dive into:
- The power of taking risks for personal growth and transformation
- Reframing failure and facing your fears
- Trauma, the ego, and “future tripping”
- Leaning into the messy middle: regulating your nervous system & embracing micro-moments to move you forward
- And more
