There’s a void we know that exists within ourselves. Yet, we push it off. We know that there is something there that is worth exploring, but because it’s a new muscle we haven’t exercised, we give into our excuses. What if we decide to move forward in our True Stride? This episode talks about what EPIC adventure is calling you.
For decades, I was in a corporate role that limited my ability to personally engage with social media. Once I started working for myself, I had the ability to reimagine my relationship with social media, but (like anything new) I had resistance because I have a lot to learn. Connecting with people who share similar interests or passions has been a wonderful case of why social media is an important tool for me to learn. For example, our special guest, Dawn Calvinisti, came across my book, Heart Value, and reached out to me via social media.
Dawn Calvinisti was gathering speakers for her upcoming summit and thought I would be a perfect fit. When I got a glimpse of her work, I realized we have a lot of alignment in the themes we discuss and explore. This is how I became part of Dawn’s As Good As It Gets Summit. Dawn is hosting this summit of 30 wonderful women speakers to help you break free from people-pleasing and the day-to-day grind to discover more meaning, connection and fulfillment in life.
On EP 73’s Wise Walk, Dawn and I discuss how we all have the ability to design our own EPIC adventure. The word E.P.I.C stands for envision, plan, implement, and cherish. We walk through each intentional step to understand what it means to go towards the purpose calling you. Join this conversation to reflect on these Wise Walk questions and more:
-
-
- What have you been pushing off?
- What is something that’s calling you… that you’re a little bit scared to start, or don’t know how to start?
- What are the things that light you up or used to light you up, and do they need to be investigated in a different way?
-
Dawn says that what lights her up is witnessing women realize that they are bigger than their imagined limits. She feels heavy when women disempower themselves. As a coach, she enjoys helping women step into their power through reflection, action steps, and community, which is why she is hosting this summit.
As we design our EPIC adventure (and adventures within adventures), it’s important to focus on the step you’re in to create little wins for yourself over and over again. Trust yourself and your courage in the process. Give yourself grace to take manageable steps with these Wise Walk questions:
-
-
- If you are ready to honor what you envision, what can you call in to support you?
- What are you cherishing about this experience?
- Is there someone to help hold yourself accountable in a realistic way?
- What are the things you don’t know that you need to learn?
- Where can you be receptive to taking your journey one step at a time?
-
