Fear. Yikes, right? Fear keeps so many of us from doing the things that we want to do in our lives. We all experience fear, but when we’re going through it, it’s easy to feel alone, and like we are the only one who get stuck in fear’s clutches. So today, let’s get into fear - specifically, the kind of fear that keeps us from taking action on the things we want to do. Let’s talk about: The relationship between fear and procrastination Why beating up our fear doesn’t work 5 steps to get through fear that is blocking your path So join me - you can read, listen or watch!

Tweets/Quotes: Every time you try to fight the fear, all you end up doing is making it more powerful because you're giving it your attention, and everything you pour into it, it is going to give back to you exponentially. Part of what happens with fear is that as we take action towards whatever it is that we're building, it starts to dissipate. There is a better way forward for you, a more loving way forward, and a more sustainable way forward that is so much easier, because you are not pouring all of your energy into fighting the fear. Instead, you learn to work with it, and then on the other side, you actually have energy left to be in your life. This is a public episode.

Your life's purpose is not to white knuckle your way through to some externally defined end result that you are not connected with. Stop making your goals unreachable. Stop it. The moon is not for your to do list. Put it on your vision board if you want to shoot for the moon. But for your to do list - be more reasonable. You cannot out-motivate your capacity, nor can you use motivation to solve a capacity problem. This is a public episode.

You’ve probably heard some advice in the past about consistency, right? Maybe people have told you not to “break the chain” as you’re pursuing a creative idea. Or maybe you’ve heard not to skip even one day when you are setting up a new routine. And maybe you’ve also realized that advice like that can actually get in your way - as in, you miss one day, and figure all is now lost. So today, we’re going to talk about consistency. Listen in as we break down: What that common advice about consistency gets wrong Three mindset shifts we can make about consistency My favorite consistency hacks that will help you follow through on what you want to do So join me - you can read, listen or watch!

Tweets/Quotes: This is the first mindset shift that you have to embrace about consistency: Your version of consistency does not, should not, and will not look like anybody else's consistency. You can be your own version of successful by embracing your own version of consistency. It's not a second place way of doing things. You can always add on later if you want something fancier. But if you want consistency, make what you are doing stupid simple.

Hello friends! This week, we are tackling a question straight from my Gentle Productivity Club membership. Here it is: “Do you think it's easier to be gently productive after years of working to burn out? I love the idea of being soft and gentle with myself, but I'm pretty early in my career and feel like I need to spend my spare time working now and be gentle later.” Such a great question, right?! So in this episode, we’re talking about: Does it ever make sense to hustle now and rest later? (spoiler alert: nope!) The big productivity myth 5 things to think about as we step into gentle productivity Resources from this episode: You can now also watch Raise Your Hand Say Yes on YouTube!

Tweets/Quotes: “When we put aside the myth that says working harder equals more success, we can ask ourselves: what do I want to believe about success, about what's possible, about what that success looks like, about what creates it?” “You have to trust yourself enough to know when you need to slow down. Yes, it's going to feel slower, but the quality of what you're able to create is going to be so much higher.” “Remember that you are not even going to be able to call on the discernment that you might need, the faith that you might need, the trust that you might need, that radical self belief that you might need until you slow down.”
