In this episode, I get candid about my own wake-up call when I realized I was just a spectator in my own life, and we dig into the mindset shift it takes to start steering toward what you truly want.You’ll learn why waiting for permission from your boss, your parents, or your partner is the quickest way to stay stuck—and how taking charge means having the courage to decide what you want, even if it goes against others’ opinions.
