#163. Momentum Over Magic: The Truth About Getting What You Want 07/31/2025

#163. Momentum Over Magic: The Truth About Getting What You Want Episode #163 : Traveling to London with a mix of excitement and nerves can be as daunting as it is exhilarating. I remember discussing this with my eyelash queen, Marie, while she carefully crafted my lashes. Her journey to pursue a master's degree was a reminder that taking one small step leads to big changes. This episode is about those small, consistent actions that build momentum in life, whether it's planning an adventure to Wimbledon with my husband, Brian, or deciding to leave the kids behind for a much-needed escape. Amidst global concerns and travel alerts, we’re choosing to embrace the thrill of new experiences. Marie’s story is a testament to the power of breaking out of comfort zones. We often get trapped in routines, dreaming of something more but hesitating to act. It's not about the flashy success stories; it's about the everyday actions that propel us forward. I share how relentless consistency, like making that one phone call or sending that email, can be transformative. The episode underscores the idea that the everyday grit, not the glamorous moments, paves the path to achieving dreams. The mundane, unglamorous tasks are where progress happens. I recount setting up my studio’s internet, a task I'd rather avoid, as an example of how constant motion leads to overall progress. Juggling responsibilities is part of the journey, and having children only heightens the need for efficiency. From transitioning out of a long finance career to building a media presence, I've learned the importance of keeping promises to oneself. Whether you're seeking personal growth or a career shift, it's about owning your journey, one determined step at a time. Passion and hard work can truly transform your life, and I hope this episode encourages you to believe that you can achieve your dreams with perseverance.
