what if you fangirled over yourself instead

Explore the psychology behind why we often idolize successful individuals and the hidden costs associated with it. Learn from my experiences with founders, athletes, artists, and creatives, and discover how they are just as human as you. The key difference? They gave themselves permission to pursue their goals despite their fears and uncertainties. If you've ever felt that greatness is reserved for a select few, or that you are somehow not measuring up, this episode will transform your perspective on yourself and those you admire. I discuss life design and how your beliefs, inherited and unexamined, shape your reality. Understand what it takes to change your life by examining your thoughts, self-perception, and tolerances. As a creative strategist and freelancer, I’ve leveraged this mindset to build a flourishing freelance business. I'll share strategies for creative endeavors, developing a freelance career, acquiring clients, and adapting your skills to the modern economy. Ultimately, the episode is about designing a life where you can thrive and earn from your passions. 0:00: Intro1:07: The myth vs the reality3:14: The gap is smaller than you think6:00: How your environment shapes you7:36: Protecting your subconscious mind10:15: You are special, yes YOU13:50: Start giving yourself permission12:06: 14:59: 15:57: #psychology #idolize #successfulindividuals #greatness #lifedesign #freelancebusiness #creativestrategy #moderneconomy See show notes: https://inlet.fm/denee/episodes/6a0a1e4e87a1ec44be33e69b Learn more about your ad choices.
