Summary
The advice you keep asking for? You already have the answer. Somewhere between "I don't know what to do" and the knowing that's already sitting underneath that -- there's usually not confusion. There's fear. And those are two very different things. We've gotten really good at seeking cover. Asking for opinions, commiserating about all the reasons something is hard, collecting perspectives like they're going to finally give us the clarity we're looking for. None of that is wrong, but if you're honest with yourself, you know when you're seeking clarity and when you're seeking permission to keep avoiding. The brave thing doesn't live in anyone else's answer. It lives in the one you've had all along. This is Episode 98, Part 3 of our mini-series building to Episode 100. We covered where you're leaking energy in Ep 96, and your internal compass in Ep 97. Today we're going into the place where those two things intersect -- the brave thing you've been circling, and what it's actually costing you every time you choose comfortable over honest. What we're covering: Why "I don't know what to do" is almost always fear in disguise (and what's actually underneath it) The real cost of avoidance: the self-trust you erode every single time you override your own knowing How self-abandonment ripples into your body, your business, and your relationships (and what opens up when you stop) Why clarity keeps slipping even after your biggest breakthroughs, and what actually makes it stick Every time you say yes to yourself, your whole world gets bigger. That's what's waiting on the other side! 📣 Become a Woman Behind It All Insider Get first access to new offerings, behind-the-scenes updates, and the content that doesn't make it to the podcast.
