    40. Your New Era Begins

    You ever feel like you're living the same day over and over again, year after year? Yeah, I've been there. But recently, I've had a huge epiphany and it has catapulted me into a whole new energy and focus. And today, I want to share what I'm learning from it. 

    In this episode, we're going to talk about:

    How easy (and dangerous) it is to internalize other people's messages.
    The practical, tactical thing you can do today to gain more traction in your life.
    Why simplifying is the best thing you can do to reach your goals.
    And how I made a big decision in my own business...and then undid it.

Rip-off of Sarah Werner

Listening to this is like listening to someone trying to be Sarah Werner of the Write Now podcast. The tone, cadence, pauses, and little laughs. The way she says "here's the thing." It's all eerily identical and very off-putting. I have a hard time believing this was accidental.
