Underestimating Your Potential

Trista Guertin
About this episode

In episode 68 of This Daring Adventure podcast, I focus on a common issue: women underestimating their potential. I discuss how societal norms, gender stereotypes, and the brain's inherent negativity bias contribute to self-doubt and fear of taking risks.

I look at how these factors lead women to play it safe and avoid pursuing ambitious goals, impacting their possibility to live fuller lives.

Tune in to learn how to recognize and overcome these challenges, including questioning internalized messaging, setting 'impossible' goals, and consistently taking action towards personal growth.

It's time to embrace risk, learn from failures, and gradually unlock your true capabilities. Know that with intention and effort, expanding your capacity and living a life beyond limitations is achievable.

You don't have to live a life you don't really love about any longer.

If you're feeling like you're meant for more, it's because you are.

So, what are you waiting for?

Key moments:

00:37 Unleashing Your Potential: A Deep Dive

08:44 The Powerful Role of Media in Shaping Perceptions

12:52 Overcoming the Brain's Fear Mechanism

22:36 Setting Impossible Goals and Taking Massive Action

25:02 Embracing Failure and Learning from Setbacks

30:44 Reflection and Moving Forward

32:27 How Coaching Can Transform Your Life

33:36 Closing Thoughts and Resources
