Welcome to the Success with Soul Podcast! Today I dive deep into the myth of readiness and explore how embracing the present moment can propel us forward. Have you ever found yourself saying, "I'm just not sure if I'm ready"? We all have those moments of doubt, questioning if the timing is right for certain decisions in our lives. But here's the thing: waiting for the perfect moment or feeling completely ready might keep us waiting forever. In today’s episode, I challenge the idea that there's a "right time" for everything and share personal stories of overcoming obstacles and finding silver linings in unexpected situations. Life is full of challenges, unexpected twists, and competing priorities, but that doesn't mean we have to put our dreams on hold. I’ll discuss the power of embracing imperfection, taking action despite uncertainty, and surrounding ourselves with support when we need it the most. So, if you've ever felt unprepared or held back by the belief that you're not ready, this episode is for you. We'll provide practical tips and mindset shifts to help you move forward, trust yourself, and realize that you already have everything you need to take that next step. It's time to let go of the myth of readiness and start embracing the incredible possibilities that await you. You've got this! What you’ll learn in this episode: Why waiting for the perfect time can hold you back and prevent you from achieving your goals. How to navigate through the challenges and keep moving forward, even when the timing doesn't feel ideal. How surrounding yourself with a team of supporters can help you overcome obstacles and continue pursuing your dreams. How shifting your mindset and believing in your abilities can propel you forward. How to connect with the present moment and realize that you have always been okay.   Links + Resources Mentioned in this Episode:  Join our VIP waitlist now for an exclusive chance to join the Incubator, our holistic mastermind empowering female coaches and course creators to make money sustainably (no social media required)!

Welcome to the Success with Soul Podcast! Today we’re taking you on an introspective journey as we challenge conventional perspectives on failure and inspire you to embrace setbacks as stepping stones toward personal and professional transformation. Get ready to embrace the unexpected lessons and surprising gifts that failure has in store for us. Remember, it's not about avoiding failure, but rather about embracing it as a catalyst for personal growth and a gateway to a more resilient and fulfilling life. By recognizing failure as an opportunity for growth, individuals can navigate challenges with resilience, empathy, and a greater capacity to support others. What you’ll learn in this episode: How failure is not final, but a catalyst for change and growth. How perceived failures often offer valuable lessons and feedback. How vulnerability in the face of mistakes can foster connection and understanding. How embracing imperfections and reframing failures leads to personal and professional growth. How becoming less fragile about making mistakes enhances resilience and self-acceptance.   Links + Resources Mentioned in this Episode:  Join our VIP waitlist now for an exclusive chance to join the Incubator, our holistic mastermind empowering female coaches and course creators to make money sustainably (no social media required)!
