24. Stop shrinking your dreams to accommodate everyone else's fears: How to Pursue Your Goals Without Seeking Approval

Morning, Muses…Welcome to the first ever ‘Monday Muse,’ my brand new mini, mini, podcast series! I know so many of us have mixed feelings going into a new week - or maybe you just straight up dread it - especially if you’re not where you want to be right now.I get it.So every Monday morning you’re now going to wake up to a little voice note, just from me to you. Think of it as a mini, mini version of the podcast… or the voice note you get from your best friend that puts a smile on your face even on the shittiest of days.A 5-minute reminder, from me to you, of just how powerful you are. How capable you are. Of how much power you have to create change in your life. And to remind you that you’re not on your own, whatever this week throws at you.Thank you so much for being here…*Reflection prompts from this week’s note:* Where have I been shrinking my dreams to accommodate someone else’s fears?* Where have I been making myself smaller to avoid judgement from someone else?* If I had an alter-ego who didn’t feel the need to do this, what would she be doing that I’m not currently doing? How does her life look different to mine?Resources:It would mean the absolute world to me if you would SUBSCRIBE, SHARE OR REVIEW Muse Yourself wherever you get your podcasts!Apple Podcasts | SpotifySUBMIT YOUR IDEAS, QUESTIONS, OR GUEST SUGGESTIONS FOR THE SHOW HEREJOIN MY SUBSTACK COMMUNITY HEREWORK WITH ME: If you’d like to explore how we can work together, you can contact me ⁠⁠HERE⁠⁠ Get full access to Muse Yourself at gemmaj.substack.com/subscribe
