"A human can be given all the tools to acquire freedom and still choose to use a toothpick to dig. "- Amanda SharpWhy do we make life harder than it needs to be? In this episode, Amanda & Christy dig into the stubborn ways we sabotage our own growth, cling to control, and let ego run the show — even when freedom is right in front of us.From personal stories of parenting, leadership, and faith, you’ll hear how pride, fear of failure (and even fear of success) can keep us stuck in old patterns. But there is another way: choosing ease, enrolling others into your vision, and trusting that God designed dreams to be lived out in community — not in isolation.We talk about:Why resistance multiplies when it “has to be your way”The surprising truth about fear of success vs. fear of failureHow community, delegation, and humility unlock bigger dreamsWhy not every relationship or calling has to be “grueling” to matterThe freedom of keeping your dreams and relationships private until they’re ready to flourishThis episode will challenge you to ask: Are you digging with a toothpick… or finally picking up the tools God has already placed in your hands?Go to our Website for all of our links - www.stillwithpurpose.comJoin our Community on Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/StillWithPurpose/Instagram - www.instagram.com/stillwithpurposepodcastEmail us at: [email protected]’s Book - amandasmentoring.comPhotos used in quotes - https://sharpdesignsllc.pixieset.com/sharpdesignsartportfolio/Sign up for our Emails that will encourage you to keep growing. www.stillwithpurpose.comIntro and exit music "Indecision" by Dyalla, used with artist permission, https://www.youtube.com/DyallaStill With Purpose Podcast
