Ep. 123 | Are You Treating Yourself Like You're Fragile? (You're Not)

from The Daily Ascent · host Molly Carmel

In today's episode, I'm talking about something a workout instructor said to me that I couldn't shake — and a pattern I catch myself in that I think a lot of us share.  Fragilizing yourself. Deciding you can't before you've tried.  Parker Palmer writes that if we are to live our lives fully and well, we must learn to embrace the opposites — to live in a creative tension between our limits and our potentials.  Today's episode is about finding out what's actually available to you.  Question to carry into your day: Where have you been treating yourself as more fragile than you actually are?  Want to chat about working together?
