The Bridge to Fulfillment

We've been told that time is our most valuable resource. But what if we've been focusing on the wrong currency all along? The truth is that we have a resource far more important than time.  It’s our energy that actually determines what we accomplish – and how we feel doing it.  The breakthrough comes when we stop asking "Do I have time?" and start asking "Where is my energy going?"

The Bridge to Fulfillment

What if the story you've been telling yourself is THE THING that’s holding you back? Our brains create narratives to make sense of experiences, but often, these stories are inaccurate.

When we start to challenge these assumptions, it helps us begin to break free from limiting beliefs and uncover new possibilities that help foster a deeper understanding of ourselves and clear the path toward personal transformation.

The people we surround ourselves with can either help or hinder our success in life. They’re the ones who provide support and offer words of encouragement when we need it.

The Bridge to Fulfillment

The Bridge to Fulfillment

If fear and uncertainty are holding you back from making the changes you want in life, then there’s only one hurdle you need to overcome.  Yourself. For most of us, the limitations we create are self-inflicted. They are merely perceptions that can be overcome by making one simple change. Make the decision that you CAN. No matter what your unique challenges are, the key is to simply make the decision that you CAN overcome limitations, that you CAN push past your limits, and that you CAN build resilience. And if you think it can’t be done, then today’s guest has a message for...

How often do you feel triggered by the words or actions of someone else?

When we are emotionally triggered by something, we are usually reacting to a situation instead of responding to it. 

And when we are reacting instead of responding, we show up as our wounded selves instead of our best selves.

That’s when it’s time to pause, ask yourself where this is really coming from, and take a moment to gain clarity so that you can reframe the situation and navigate it from a place of truth and integrity. 

 

Today on The Bridge to FulfillmentⓇ, Blake welcomes Andrea Mein DeWitt, author of “Name, Claim & Reframe: Your Path to a Well-Lived Life”, a practical approach to navigating life’s challenges. Her guide teaches you how to name and balance your emotional triggers, claim core value lead actions, and reframe challenges as opportunities so you can live your best life.

In this episode, you’ll learn how to listen to your inner compass and allow it to guide you, rather than continue to push it and its message to the background.  You’ll hear practical tips for gaining attuned awareness so you can begin to heal yourself from the inside out. You’ll also learn how to lead more intelligently and with more self-compassion so that you can start to rebuild your idea of success on a foundation of truth and authenticity.

Until we navigate our inner problems, the changes we make on the outside won’t help us make the fundamental life changes we seek on the inside.

Favorite Quotes:

  1. “I think that the battled and bruised healers are the best healers, because they know the pathway and it's okay to make mistakes, because mistakes are where the magic happens.” –Andrea Mein DeWitt

  2. “In order to become who you're meant to be, you need to release who you were and trust. My favorite saying is, ‘Leap and the net will appear.’”–Andrea Mein DeWitt

  3. “We often don't think about the identities that we give ourselves and how much holding on to those things is destroying our lives.” –Blake

  4. “We often talk about leadership in terms of very tactical things, not understanding that the biggest and most powerful way to show up as a leader is to have a level of self-awareness and authenticity. And then being able to create that safe space and authenticity for those around you.” –Blake
