Epi 362: So, You Want To Give Up…Do This Instead

We’ve all been there—feeling like giving up when life takes us into a dark valley. In those moments, it can seem impossible to see a way out. But here's the truth: these moments don’t have to define us. They are simply passing chapters in the larger story.

The moments we want to give up are often the moments you are being called to facing the hard, making room for grief, and fully shifting into something new. Is that easy? Hell no! But, it is possible. If you are there, this one-on-one deep dive is filled with practical strategies to get you into real change. But, here’s a fair warning: this episode isn’t a sweet pep talk! This is a get out of your own, drop your excuses, and let’s do some damn work! Instead of running from feelings of defeat, it’s time to acknowledge them, stand firm in those emotions, and break free. This is the “how.”

Let’s dive in!
