Summary

It’s so easy to feel stuck and overwhelmed when we haven’t figured something out yet. But what if you looked for the evidence in your life that you can solve the problem? In this episode, I share how I’m borrowing belief from my past self to help me make a decision I’m wrestling with now. Instead of demanding certainty or shaming myself for not knowing the answer, I’m using real proof from my own history to help me relax while I take the time to figure it out. Here’s what I cover: How leaving the church one step at a time taught me how to untangle my beliefs Why your brain relaxes when you offer it real evidence from your past How to copy and paste a past growth process onto the problem you’re facing today The self-judgment that creeps in when you think you should have it figured out by now A powerful visualization to help you imagine the future version of you who already solved the problem Find Sara here: sarafisk.coach pages.sarafisk.coach/difficultconversations www.instagram.com/sarafiskcoach/ www.facebook.com/SaraFiskCoaching/ www.tiktok.com/@sarafiskcoach www.youtube.com/@sarafiskcoaching1333 What happens inside the free Stop People Pleasing Facebook Community ?
