Creating the Path with Heather Grace Hanson is a podcast that challenges multi-passionate entrepreneurs to achieve their goals by working less and eliminating overwhelm, so they can create their own unique pathway to a life they love.

I’ll touch on topics such as creating the life you want, uncovering your purpose, managing your energy, and how to get more done without overwhelm.

In this episode, I’m sharing a powerful simple, but powerful exercise that I do daily to help me shift into the identity of the person who has already achieved the goal(s) I’m currently working on. Most of the time we think we’ll become the person who does the thing, AFTER we do it, but it’s actually the other way around. We become the person who does the thing, then the actual doing of the thing becomes so much easier. If you only do this one exercise daily, while working on your goals this ...

And when it comes to problem-solving, it is a much-needed skill in every ...

In today’s episode of Creating The Path, I’m talking about giving yourself permission to let things go. You may or may not have noticed that I didn't release a podcast episode last week. That was because I was working on a project, and I didn't anticipate how long it was going to take me to complete it. So, I had to let things go. I had more on my plate than I could handle. And letting things go can look like two different things, it can either look like not doing something at all or le...

Last week, we talked about just how important it is to rest and how we need to start a rest revolution to get rid of burnout culture forever.
