I happened on an experience where a list of my accomplishments, for an introduction, turned into a much deeper experience than I expected. Listen to hear what I learned and how I grew it to help others uncover their inner badass and move toward their goals, their challenges and their plans with confidence. After you listen and make your lists let me know how it went! tarakgrieb@gmail.com Instagram and TikTok are @tara.grieb Can't wait to hear from you and as always, if you like the show please leave a review on your platform and tell a friend to listen!

After recording our episode my husband said... "Oh I wish I had said...." about a few things. Next thing you know, the mic is on and we are talking. You can hear his surprise! Enjoy these final quick thoughts from him on Beginning.

Setting goals is one thing but achieving them is a whole project in and of itself. In this episode we break down the simple steps to go from idea to goal to achievement. All of this helps you to take the steps you need to Begin!

I have commandeered my husband into appearing on the podcast. We start listening to his story of chasing dreams from working in NYC to finally living his life-long dream of becoming a police officer. We even dabble in his endeavors into the world of semi pro baseball and softball. His story is inspirational on its own, but what is really valuable is hearing his take on supporting someone else (in this case me) who wants to make a major life change, take a risk and do something new. It's about your willingness to begin but also about supporting someone you care about when they want to begin a new journey.

In this episode I go back through recordings I have made during my commute. Often I record them because I have so much time to think and reflect as I drive to and from work. It is interesting, now that I am 5 months into this big change, to go back and listen to how I felt right after I made the decision, on day four of the new job, and onward as self doubt and discomfort started to settle in. By the way, self doubt and discomfort almost always come with a major change... it's part of the process. The key is how you navigate it and what you do in spite of it! Check it out and if you love it, share with your friends!

A big fear when looking at beginning something new is failure. How do you know it will work? How do you know you are making the right choice? How do you know you won't lose it all? You don't. In this quick byte I loop in disney movies and other messages that tell us it is ok to quit, it is ok to fail and it is ok to try and try again. Let's Begin!

A recovering people pleaser and rule follower, I always dreamed of what I would if I could.... but I just couldn't BEGIN. After recording 30 episodes of Should Theory I stopped because I felt like a fraud, frozen in fear and unable to do what I was promoting myself.... quit and forge a new path. In July of 2022 I finally had to courage to do just that! Begin is about starting, taking the steps you need to embark on a new journey, face a challenge or solve a problem. The biggest hurdle is often having the courage to start, and so, BEGIN was born. In this episode you will hear about the beginnings (finally at 48) of my journey, and how we got here. In the future we will talk to many others about their experiences and I will take you with me on my own journey toward "something else". I am glad you are with me. Let's Begin!

This episode dives into limiting beliefs or as I call them, negative shoulds.... We all have them and we all suffer from them in one form or another. In this episode I will dive into 10 questions you need to ask yourself and think through in order to shed those shoulds that keep you from trying something new, from taking a risk, from making a change, from thinking outside the box or going against the grain. We all suffer from limiting beliefs AND we are all leaders and decision makers in some or all aspects of our lives. By identifying the shoulds we can better understand why they are there, address them and then move forward in our lives.

Clarissa shares this: As a small child, I had two interests: I wanted to be an artist, and I wanted to take care of people. I had an active imagination. I loved painting, drawing, and sharing my work with others. It brought such joy and bliss. I grew up in a household of doctors who were very practical and protective. I did not get the encouragement to dive deep into art and was told that I’d be rich and famous after I died! I remember feeling like I wasn’t capable of making “right” decisions. As an adult I know my parents were looking out for my best interest. Life as an artist just didn’t seem stable or practical. I also was drawn to becoming friends with children who were on the outskirts and alone. As one of the few Filipino children at my pre-school, I felt different. My dark hair and skin was a contrast to the other children around me. I didn’t want others to feel like I did. I would always befriend the new kids in town. I didn’t want them to feel left out. I remember walking up to a new girl in my ballet class from Canada and invited her to join me and my group of friends. Reaching out was something I always did. I became the “go to” friend who would listen, reassure, encourage, and just be with whatever situation was going on. I found I had a knack for making people feel welcomed. Clarissa is a total GEM.
