What’s on your mind, unicorn? 🦄 Send me a text! What if the secret to confidence isn’t believing in yourself—but simply taking the first step? 🤯 In this episode of Untethered , we’re diving into something sneaky that might be holding you back: the joy breaker . This is the invisible threshold your nervous system sets on how much happiness you allow yourself to experience. Ever noticed how things start going really well, and then—boom—you sabotage? Yeah, that’s your joy breaker in action. But here’s the good news: you can expand your capacity for joy by intentionally noticing and savoring the little moments—like truly receiving a compliment or letting yourself feel the sun on your face. Taking bold action isn’t about forcing or hustling—it’s about making it fun . When you build your life and business from a place of joy, confidence naturally follows. And if you’re wondering how to take that first step, Leigh Burgess’ BOLD framework is here to guide you: Believe, Own, Learn, Design . Inspired by Adam Grant’s wisdom, we’re flipping the script on confidence. Instead of waiting to feel ready, what if you could look at your past wins (yes, you have them!) and use them as fuel to take your next bold leap? Press play, and let’s get untethered. 🎧✨ P.S.

The Power of ‘I Can’ - start breaking through limitations 23:24

cách đây 6 weeks trước23:24

23:24

What’s on your mind, unicorn? 🦄 Send me a text! In this Thursday Thread, we're revisiting powerful insights from Dr. Craig Farney's previous episode to explore how the voices of "I can't" and "I can" shape our reality—both mentally and physically. We’ll dive into how the "I can't" voice, often rooted in societal conditioning, shows up in our lives, limiting our potential. In contrast, the "I can" voice—driven by curiosity and possibility—holds the key to unlocking your true power and transforming your life. Through practical somatic listening exercises, I’ll guide you to navigate this internal conflict, empowering you to shift your mindset with compassion and ease. We’ll also explore how these voices manifest physically, offering clues to where your limitations are showing up in your body. Drawing inspiration from trailblazers like Kathrine Switzer, who ran the first marathon as a woman, we’ll uncover the power of embracing curiosity and possibility, proving that anything is possible when you choose to listen to the voice of "I can." By the end of this episode, you’ll have the tools to confront your own limitations and dreams, and step into a more empowered version of yourself. Key Takeaways: Why challenging the "I can’t" voice unlocks new possibilities for your life. How to listen to your body and use physical sensations to guide your mental and emotional shifts. How to tap into the curiosity of your inner child to move beyond limitations and embrace new growth. Why confronting both your fears and dreams leads to true empowerment. How to make intentional, empowered choices that align with your true self and open the door to limitless possibility. Support the show 🔥 Ready to step into your next level?

What’s on your mind, unicorn? 🦄 Send me a text! Have you ever felt exhausted from always putting others first, only to feel unappreciated and out of sync with yourself? In this Thursday Thread episode, we’re pulling a key idea from Rhonda Parker-Taylor’s Tuesday conversation to talk about the importance of a “me-first” mindset. We’ll explore how prioritizing your own needs can strengthen relationships and lead to more fulfillment in your life. You’ll hear why boundaries matter and how letting go of overworking and over-serving can help you reclaim your energy and focus on what truly matters. This isn’t about self-care as a buzzword—it’s about practical ways to honor your own happiness and align with your goals. We’ll also challenge some of the societal messages (especially for women) that push us toward self-sacrifice and talk about how to shift away from that mindset. To wrap it up, I’ll guide you through a quick breathwork exercise to reconnect with your energy and purpose. Support the show 🔥 Ready to step into your next level?
