02/10/23 • 21 min

The Gutsy Podcast | Mindset, Personal Development & Entrepreneurship for Women

When was the last time that you truly allowed yourself to have fun?
The type of fun that actually fuels your soul without reason, without overthinking, without obligation, and without holding back a part of yourself?
This week’s Powerback® episode is about giving you the permission that you don't need but might still need to hear. Because, at the end of the day, the only thing and person stopping you from truly doing things that bring you a lot of joy and fun in your life is you.
So, we’re going to work through:

How I said YES to myself and went on a solo trip to Miami
What's happening in your brain that’s stopping you from having fun
A simple way to start having the fun you want
One challenge to get your Powerback® and be happier

Everyone is creative, it’s about exploring ways that you can bring that out
You are allowed to grow and change your business as you grow and change
