info_outlineIn this episode of She Doesn't Settle, I discuss what happens when we receive a "sign" that prompts us to consider making a change in our lives (these are the moments in life that make us realize when things aren't going well and how we are settling for less than we deserve), but due to fear, we quickly dismiss that idea.
I'm delving into the mental aspects of listening to our inner voice rather than ignoring it and specifically addressing the fears and self-criticism that hold us back. I'm covering nine specific fears tied to our unique personality, such as not feeling good enough, lacking energy, and feeling out of control, among others.
You should ask yourself the question: Is this fear b.s.? This episode offers insights into finding the courage to take the first step towards change, making it achievable, and seeking inspiration from those who have undergone similar journeys. Tune in to receive a gentle nudge to listen to those signs and confront the fears holding you back.
