#31 You Already Know What You Want. This Is What’s Missing

from Life Notes · host Megan Marie

This episode about one of the many layers I work on with my clients. The work I do with you can be done alone and this is one idea that we work on together- courage and gumption. Both are necessary when we’re growing, changing, and trying to build a life that feels like ours. I talk about the difference between courage and gumption and how they work together. This isn’t about big, loud bravery. It’s about the quiet moments where you choose to listen to yourself, say the thing, take the step, or move toward something that feels uncertain. The life you want is often on the other side of those small, honest, courageous decisions and learning to trust yourself enough to act on them. Key Themes: Courage versus gumption Growth requires both honesty with yourself and willingness to act You can build courage through small, everyday moments Not all courage is loud Fear and anxiety don’t disappear, but courage can grow alongside them The things you’re drawn to are not random. They’re pointing you somewhere Your life changes when you start acting on what you already know Work With Me: If this is the kind of work you’re in right now, I offer integrative counseling and coaching that helps you sort through all of it.
