Ep. 156 | How to Give Yourself the Runway to Find Your Flow

from The Daily Ascent · host Molly Carmel

In today's episode, I'm sharing what happened when I heard a wildly successful comedian say something so honest about his early days that it made me think differently about the runway we give ourselves for the things that matter to us.  Anne Lamott writes in Bird by Bird that not one of the great writers we love sits down feeling wildly enthusiastic and confident, that none of them write elegant first drafts, and that all good writing begins with terrible first efforts.  Today's episode is about the clumsy early stretch of becoming, what it actually takes to find your flow, and the permission to give yourself the runway when nobody else will.  Question to carry into your day: Where in your life do you need to give yourself the runway?  So much of what we call failure with food and our bodies is actually impatience with our own becoming. If you're tired of the loop of starting over every Monday and you're ready to finally give yourself the runway, the Stop Starting Over System was built for you.
