You blink your eyes as an 11-year-old and suddenly you’re 31. Or 41. Or however old you are right now.

What happened to those dreams? Where did they go? More importantly: what’s the one thing that’s actually been holding you back from becoming the person you want to be?

It’s the stories you tell yourself inside your head.

In this episode, I break down why those stories aren’t truths, why fear is the only real enemy, and the goldfish analogy that explains why your reality is exactly the size you’ve decided to make it.

🎧 Press play. The escape hatch was unlocked the whole time.

In this episode:

▶ Why time keeps slipping faster than you can hold it
▶ The stories you tell yourself, and why most of them are lies you’ve trained yourself to believe
▶ Why fear is the only real enemy stopping you from your dreams
▶ The goldfish analogy: your reality is exactly the size of the bowl you’re in
▶ Why you are the writer, director, and star of your own life

If you’ve been telling yourself you’ll start “when you’re ready,” this one’s for you.
