Have you ever found yourself researching everything and gathering so much information, hoping it will be your safety net when things go awry? It's a pattern many of us unknowingly fall into. In this eye-opening episode, I bare my soul and share personal experiences and those of my clients, focusing on the risks of hoarding knowledge without applying it. This isn't about passing judgement; it's about awareness, helping you recognize your tendencies, and guiding you towards making conscious decisions that genuinely resonate with your unique needs and goals.Change isn't just about gathering data; it's about aligning it with your life and taking action. This episode explores critical questions that can help you create that alignment: Is this information helpful now? Does it make sense for me? Where can I make subtle yet impactful changes? We delve into our tendencies and strategize around them, fostering a support system within ourselves that's geared for lasting change. We emphasize the power of presence, of noticing our emotions, and acknowledging our beliefs, especially when we take action.Finally, we embrace the power behind action and clarity. I aim to inspire you to take intentional steps, however small they may seem, to overcome limiting beliefs. It's about permitting ourselves to feel, observing our thoughts, and celebrating our decisions. When we transform emotions, memories, and convictions into support, love, power, strength, courage, and trust, we unleash our flow, learn to function most effectively, and pave the way for personal growth.

Now that we have had the time to do "the thing" of goals and resolutions - either set them and break them OR avoid them all together. The New Year, New You concept can be used for good, but more often than not we use it to shame ourselves. Let's do things differently.It's all made up anyway.Let's do 2023 more in flow, in sync and more aligned with ourselves and what vision we have for ourselves and our lives.There are 3 steps: 1. Decide what you want.What you really really want. What do you want your life to look like? what is important and valuable to you - not things... more like truth, love, trust, adventure, fun, connection, safety. Why are those things important to you. What do you want MORE of in your life.These will be your guideposts. To measure up opportunities and things that come up in your life. You will be able to decide if that is in alignment with you, your values and priorities and vision.2. Take a cue from nature. In the US, it's winter.  Things have died off or gone dormant. This is the time for you to clean out anything that is not useful or helpful or aligned with who you are and who you want to be.This can be physical, mental or emotional things.Also, understand that you are human and that you also have cycles. High and low energy/focus. Allow and plan for that. You are not a robot.Understand also, how you best funtion and operate. What do you need to support yourself? more sleep? more quiet time? More connection? Be your own advocate, speak up for what you want and need that is useful and helpful.3. Choose a word for the year. This will be your mantra, your recalibration, reminder of where you chose to put your focus this year.

Responsibilities can feel soooo heavy....But they can also feel empowering.Going to share with you the truth about your responsibilities that no one tells you.You are not responsible for other people's emotions, actions, words or attitudes. You are responsible only for you and how you show up in your life and your resources.Your resources are the 5 things that we have more say than we originally thought.Want to know more or want to have help implementing this into your life...  Resources:Join the AudaciousAF CollectiveThe AudaciousAF Collective is a community of women seeking to feel alive and love themselves and their lives again, done chasing perfectionism and all the shoulds by reconnecting to who they truly are, own their lives.
