When Self-Doubt Gets Loud
In this episode of The Purpose Pursuit Podcast, Hannah takes a closer look at one of the biggest obstacles to meaningful change: self-doubt.For anyone standing at a crossroads or in a season of transition, self-doubt often shows up loud and persuasive- convincing us we’re not ready, not qualified, or simply not enough. And because it sounds so familiar, it can feel like truth. But what if self-doubt wasn’t something to fight with willpower or ignore with positive affirmations? What if there was a better way to move through it?In this powerful and practical episode, Hannah shares how reconnecting with purpose can quiet the noise of self-doubt and help you move forward, even when confidence is in short supply.Join The Purpose Pursuit Course: https://www.hellosidekick.co/thepurposepursuitPre-Order The Purpose Pursuit: https://geni.us/ThePurposePursuitConnect with Hannah on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/hellohannahmiller/Connect with Hannah on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/hellohannahmillerListen on Apple: https://podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/the-purpose-pursuit/id1728277525?i=1000679973398Listen on Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/0wrBZfttoflvzJCjMyhjCk?si=1759c32ac727443c

Have I Left It Too Late?
In this episode, Hannah explores the milestone anxiety that many of us experience as we compare our lives to those around us. Hannah reminds us that there is no timeline. There is no milestone moment that isn’t just manufactured. What about if deciding to launch a business, or back to uni, or start a new career was a totally acceptable thing to do in our forties, or fifties, or sixties? What if instead we could see the experience we have as an asset, a chance to learn from all we have done before, an opportunity to build something without needing to make it all about us? What if it’s OK to meet the love of your life well past your twenties? Or to have your babies when you’re young if you want to? You get to decide what the next decade looks like. Be encouraged that you can change more, and do more, and be more of who you were made to be than you realise. If you have found yourself comparing your life and coming up short, Hannah reminds you:It’s not too late. You haven’t missed it. You have something to say.Pre-Order The Purpose Pursuit: https://geni.us/ThePurposePursuit
