Today’s episode is inspired by something I’ve recently gone through, and have friends currently navigating as well. The idea of ‘creating space’, specifically around big transitions or life changes, comes up often in my masterminds and coaching calls. As a society, we’ve grown accustomed to familiarity, and we feel like we should always know what our ‘next step’ will be.

That’s all good and well, but…what happens when you’re ready for something DIFFERENT? You don’t actually know what that ‘next thing’ is, but you’re craving more purpose, intentionality, and autonomy in your life.

In today’s episode, I want to talk about creating space, taking action, trusting yourself, and exploring the unknown. It can feel sooo scary to step out of your comfort zone – especially when you don’t have it ‘all’ figured out (because of course, you think you need to). It’s like safety and predictability have pretty much gone out the window, right?!

Believe me – I’ve been here before. When I left a successful career that made me happy (and I thought it was ‘it’ for me) to pursue entrepreneurship, I had NO idea how it was going to work out. There wasn’t anything ‘wrong’ with my job, but I was being pulled in a totally different direction. I was the only one who could take action, and gosh, I’m so glad I did!

So often, you stay in your current circumstance. Even when you aren’t happy here, it feels more ‘comfortable’ than stepping into something unknown. It’s hard for you to imagine what’s possible, because you’re stuck in the vicious cycle of feeling conflicted and frustrated, so nothing changes.

But sometimes, you need to trust yourself over logic. And yes, I KNOW that’s easier said than done! I’m not saying to do anything that is detrimental to you or your family, but sometimes logic just can’t be applied to those ‘big moves’ you’ve gotta make.

There won’t be a single ‘right’ path for you to take. It’s okay to not know every.single.detail before you take steps forward, but when you DO choose to move forward, you’ll be creating confidence and momentum!

This journey isn’t all ‘sunshine and rainbows’ – pursuing the path to find that ‘thing’ that’s meant for you can be freaking HARD. It can also be incredibly healing, and fulfilling, and as you continue coming home to yourself, you will be SO glad you did!

Whatever is on your heart that you know you’re meant to pursue, I hope you focus on creating space, taking action, and trusting yourself. What would it be like for you to heal, and grow, and evolve, and really explore the unknown? This is one of my FAVORITE topics to talk through, so if you need support and encouragement along the way, I’m here for you, friend!!

In this episode about creating space, taking action, trusting yourself, and exploring the unknown, we cover:

• Why we seem to think we have it ‘all’ figured out in our society + what happens when we discover we want something different that isn’t ‘safe’ or ‘predictable’

• Realizing your current circumstance that you don’t like will always feel more comfortable than something unknown

• Choosing to trust yourself over logic (even when it feels super scary)

• Understanding that there is no single ‘right’ path + what momentum really means

• Why you can invite your partner onto your journey & ask for their support, but you don’t need their ‘permission’ to pursue your aligned, best life

• The misconception that alignment automatically equals ‘ease’
