About this episode

Have you ever found yourself majoring in minor activities? It’s like doing a thousand things but getting nowhere fast. Do you feel like you’re busy but not productive? You’re getting stuff done but it doesn’t really get you closer to your goal. Are you ready to recalibrate your life and achieve your dreams? If you answered 'yes' to any of these, you've come to the right place. 

In today's fast-paced world, it's easy to fall into the trap of overcommitting. We want to do it all, be it all, and achieve it all. However, what we often fail to realize is that overcommitting can actually hinder our progress and cost us our dreams. We all know the feeling of being stretched too thin, constantly juggling multiple responsibilities, and feeling like we're falling short. But what if there was a way to break free from this cycle and create a life of balance and fulfillment?

Join me in this thought-provoking episode as we uncover valuable insights and practical strategies to help you regain control of your time, energy, and focus. Discover the power of prioritization, setting boundaries, and learning to say no, all while staying true to your passions and goals. Remember, success is not measured by how much we do, but by how well we do it. It's time to reclaim our time, energy, and dreams. Let’s dive in!

In this episode, you will learn:
  • Ways to stay inspired when you feel overwhelmed
  • Our calling as servant-heroes
  • Why December is the best time to recalibrate
  • Identifying limiting beliefs and why they are holding you back
  • How to overcome decision fatigue
  • Turning massive goals into massive intention
  • Separation Season
  • The reality of trade-offs
