Negative self-talk can be paralyzing and even cause you to take steps backwards in your journey towards reaching your goals.

Your goals are meant for you; no one else. No one gets to tell you what you can and can't do. No one gets to tell you that your goals and your dreams are wrong. They are yours!

In today's episode, I talk about why we do that and a few things you can do to overcome the obstacle. Fuck what people think.

All you need is one thing, one small win to get the momentum rolling. If you can overcome your excuse once, you can do it again and again.

How often do you take time to sit back and reflect on what you have been through or what you have accomplished? Sometimes we avoid revisiting painful moments. However, there is so much to be learned by looking at what you went through, lessons you've learned and progress you've made. Reflecting allows you to give yourself the credit you earned and gives you permission to revisit difficult and painful emotions without carrying negativity along with it. Most importantly, it reminds you of your strength. In today's episode, I dive into the benefits of reflecting on your journey and how you can use your lessons to propel you forward to attack any goal you desire.
