Brooke and I dive into what blocks us from new beliefs and how to show up powerfully for your future. We’re discussing why we’re unwilling to contemplate going after what we want, what creates safety in making decisions, and why risking a decision is so much more valuable than not giving yourself the chance.
Strap yourselves in for the first of a two-part conversation with the one and only Brooke Castillo.
