## Resource

Are old fears resurfacing? It doesn't mean you're going backward. It means you're getting closer. In this episode, I talk about limitations and how they act as a mirror for your next expansion. I share empowering ways to create momentum through fear & discomfort, shed old patterns to operate on a higher level, and gain insight on where your next opportunity for transformation will come from. Most of all, I reveal the true importance of surrounding yourself with expanders, and why your biggest limitations are actually the key to breaking through your ceiling. If you're being asked to step into something new, this is your sign it's time to lean into that resistance and expand beyond your comfort zone! HIGHLIGHTS 00:00 Why you need to surround yourself with expanders. 03:30 How fear and uncertainty test you when you're shedding old patterns. 08:45 Empowering ways to interrupt patterns and operate in a new way. 14:15 What is the one thing that moves the needle forward faster? 18:40 How to gain insight on your next opportunity for transformation. 21:05 How do you fight against the voice trying to keep you small? 23:50 Where in your life can you create moments of expansion?
