S2E19: When Less Is More

As we design our next chapters, we may feel pulled in a lot of different directions, feeling tempted to say yes to everything that comes our way. But change and growth is not just about adding more things on our plates - it’s about being discerning with our time, energy, and resources. In this episode, we acknowledge that less is often more.This podcast is for you if you believe that:● Embracing a growth mindset and being brave enough to suck at something new is a must.● Fear should be acknowledged but shouldn’t stop you from doing epic shit!● It should be a “No” unless it’s a “Hell Yes!”● There’s more than enough for everyone.● Your energy will tell you where to go next. Listen and trust the process.● People are so much more than titles and the boxes others put them in.Follow ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Shelley on LinkedIn⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Follow ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Jill on LinkedIn⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Follow Glitter, Grit, and Growth on ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Facebook⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Follow Glitter, Grit, and Growth on ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Instagram⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Visit our website: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠www.GlitterGritAndGrowth.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Email us at ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠[email protected]⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Special thanks to the amazing musician featured on our podcast, Brandi Harvey.
