On the Bright Side

For the people who feel smaller than their anxiety, don’t feel brave enough to go after what they want, or believe the cards they were dealt dictate how they have to live their life.I’ve gotten a lot of messages asking me how I did it. How, as someone with debilitating anxiety, did I manage to move 16 hours away from everything I knew and build a life for myself?There’s no one answer. It was a lot of work, a lot of fear, and a lot of believing in myself when I didn’t feel very brave.But maybe that’s the funny thing about courage. Maybe you don’t wake up one morning and suddenly have it. Maybe you just get tired of wondering what your life could look like if you stopped letting fear make the decisions for you. So, for anyone who’s on the cusp of wanting something new, here’s what helped me take the first step.SocialsOTBS Instagram ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@onthebrightsidepodd⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠OTBS TikTok: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@onthebrightsidepodcast⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Caroline's Instagram: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@carolinesusko⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Caroline's Tiktok: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@carolinesusko⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Social media inquiries: [email protected] Inquiries: [email protected]: Sundown Drive by Ghostrifter http://bit.ly/ghostrifter-ytCreative Commons — Attribution-NoDerivs 3.0 Unported — CC BY-ND 3.0Free Download: https://hypeddit.com/track/o4ir62

The loudest boos come from the cheapest seats.Maybe the people who have the most to say about our lives are the people who know the least about them. We’re all watching from different seats, yet somehow we tend to let every opinion carry the same weight. HINT: the only opinions that matter, are from people you WOULD trade places with. At some point, you have to decide who gets a frontrow seat, whose opinion matters to you, and most importantly if YOU'RE HAPPY WITH YOU!

What if the decisions you regret most weren’t actually mistakes?? In this episode, I’m talking about starting over, changing your mind, outgrowing people, places, jobs, and even versions of yourself...and why we’re so quick to label something a “waste of time” just because it didn’t last. Plus, the pressure to have your life figured out by a certain age and what happens when the timeline you planned for yourself isn't exactly what you had thought .

When I went through friendship breakups, I thought they were a bad thing. I replayed every conversation, wondering what I could’ve done differently. But over time, I realized sometimes friendship endings are a beautiful thing. We outgrow people, and they outgrow us. Some people are meant to be in our lives for a chapter, not the whole story. And that doesn’t mean anyone has to be the bad guy. Sometimes life changes your table so you can find the people who understand you a little more. Looking around today, I’m so grateful mine did...but I’m also grateful for everyone who has sat at my table because I’m exactly who I am today because of them❤️❤️‍🩹 ocialsOTBS Instagram ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@onthebrightsidepodd⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠OTBS TikTok: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@onthebrightsidepodcast⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Caroline's Instagram: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@carolinesusko⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Caroline's Tiktok: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@carolinesusko⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Social media inquiries: [email protected] Inquiries: [email protected] about me (Amazon Storefront, LTK, Podcast Course etc): ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠HERE⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠WANT TO SEE A GUEST GET ON THE MIC?

23 called for some of the biggest lessons life has taught me so far. It led me to move to Charleston, put my anxiety in the back seat, open doors I never thought I would, and learn to do things scared...all while surrounded by the people I love.I truly believe we're put on this earth to experience life, grow through it, and share what we learn with others. So this is your reminder: do it scared, do it loudly, and do it as the most authentic version of yourself.Take my advice....or at least consider it. You might be just one step away from the life you've been dreaming about.WAKE UP TO WELLNESS IS SOLD OUT, but follow socials below for the next event series drop!!!SocialsOTBS Instagram ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@onthebrightsidepodd⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠OTBS TikTok: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@onthebrightsidepodcast⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Caroline's Instagram: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@carolinesusko⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Caroline's Tiktok: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@carolinesusko⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Social media inquiries: [email protected] Inquiries: [email protected]: Sundown Drive by Ghostrifter http://bit.ly/ghostrifter-ytCreative Commons — Attribution-NoDerivs 3.0 Unported — CC BY-ND 3.0Free Download: https://hypeddit.com/track/o4ir62
