    Episode 5 : The Power of Permission - Giving Yourself the Green Light

    Join host Liza Tullidge on this episode of Humaning as we explore the invisible barrier that holds so many of us back—not fear, not skill, not readiness, but permission. You know that bold thing you want to do? The step you know would move you forward? The opportunity that excites you and terrifies you? Sometimes, the hardest part isn’t the action itself—it’s allowing yourself to take it. Because permission isn’t something you get from someone else. It’s something you decide to give yourself. In this episode, we break down: Why giving yourself permission feels so hard—and the subconscious narratives that keep you waiting.The illusion of control—how our brains mistake over-planning for safety and end up keeping us stuck.Shifting from outcome to process—how to stop waiting for guarantees and start embracing curiosity.The role of self-trust—why you’re not the same person who hesitated before, and why that matters.The real cost of waiting—how avoiding risk doesn’t just protect you from failure, but also blocks unexpected opportunities.We’ve survived 100% of the unknowns we’ve faced. We’ve grown through every challenge, every moment of uncertainty, every leap we weren’t sure we were ready for. And we will again. If you’ve been hesitating, overthinking, or waiting for a sign—this is it. Tune in for an honest, empowering, and deeply human conversation about giving yourself the green light to step forward.

    Episode 4: One Bold Thing

    Rewiring Boldness: Expanding Your Space & Taking Action Join host Liza Tullidge on this episode of Humaning as we explore what it means to take bold action, expand your space, and stop waiting for permission to live the life you want. We all have an invisible line—a boundary between what we believe is possible for us and what feels out of reach. Whether it’s asking for an opportunity, pursuing a goal, or even just seeing ourselves as someone who belongs in certain spaces, we often wait. We wait to feel ready. We wait for certainty. We wait for permission. But what if boldness isn’t about being fearless? What if it’s just a muscle—one that you can build through small, repeatable actions? In this episode, we break down: The One Bold Thing Rule—a simple but powerful way to build courage through small, consistent steps.The neuroscience of boldness—how repetition rewires your brain to normalize what once felt intimidating.Why your brain resists stepping outside your comfort zone—and why that discomfort is actually a good sign.The dopamine shift—how to wire excitement to the action itself, rather than the outcome.How to stop waiting and start expanding your space—one bold move at a time.Taking action—any action—before you feel ready isn’t about the result. It’s about becoming the kind of person who does the thing. Because the people who make the biggest leaps aren’t necessarily the smartest or the best-connected—they’re just the ones who don’t wait. If you’ve been hesitating, overthinking, or waiting for a sign, this episode is for you. Your sign is here. Tune in for a motivating, practical, and neuroscience-backed conversation that will help you stop playing small, rewire your brain for possibility, and start taking bold, meaningful steps—one action at a time.
