About this episode

It’s that time of year when big goals and big ideas bubble up as we dream about what’s possible in these next 12 months. But if you’re an overthinker - and SO many of us are - the negative self-talk can make this “fresh start” season utterly overwhelming. If you’re stuck stressing and ready to get serious about getting after your goals, you’ve come to the perfect episode! Sought-after speaker and best-selling author, Jon Acuff, joins Paula for a timely and transforming conversation that will leave you believing in yourself again as you learn the keys to change your thinking and get after your goals. Find out the three things that are standing in the way of you doing what you’re called to do, get essential advice for helping yourself and others tackle their “broken soundtracks” and hear Jon’s inspiring journey of learning that our crises are just an “invitation to innovation.”
