Stop Waiting for Permission: How to Turn Courage Into Confidence | IP 208

What could happen if you stopped waiting for permission?

Permission to want something more…

Permission to try something brave…

Permission to go after that crazy idea that's been calling you forward for so long — even though you have no freaking idea how to make it happen. 😬

That's where we're going this week.

Last spring, I was invited by Emma Lagerlow, host of the Australian podcast It's a Mindset, to be a guest on her show — and our conversation went somewhere I don't often go, here on Ideal Practice™.

So I asked if I could share it with you all, too. :)

We had a beautiful conversation about courage and confidence, self-worth and intuition, money and adventure — and I shared quite a few of the experiences that have shaped who I am and how I approach my work.

I also walked her through the seven-step Courage to Confidence Success Cycle — a process I first began to recognize decades ago in my own life, and one I've used over and over again anytime I've set out to do something big, scary or (seemingly) impossible.

In this episode, you’ll hear:

Why I believe you are already far more courageous than you think.✨
The seven steps I’ve used repeatedly to move from big dreams to big action.
Why figuring out the HOW is almost never the real problem. 🔥
What self-worth has to do with the life and business you're willing to create. ⬅️
Why sometimes the most important thing you can do is simply give yourself permission to try. 💛

We’ll also wander through Switzerland, the Appalachian Trail, hang gliding, kayaking, violin lessons, money, marketing and a few other adventures along the way. Because apparently that's what happens when someone else gets to ask me the questions. 😂

But underneath all of it is something I believe deeply:

Life is meant to be lived. Fully. Wholeheartedly.

You don't have to know exactly how you're going to get there. You don't have to be fearless. And you certainly don't have to wait until you feel confident.

You just have to give yourself permission to begin.

Enjoy. :)
