    196. BUILDING BEST-IN-CLASS MINDSET: There's Always Another Perspective Available

    Whatever situation you're facing, think about this: there is always another perspective available to you. There is SOMEONE out there who thinks about your exact same situation completely differently... and that perspective is available to you, too. Whether or not their view ultimately works for you, it's encouraging to remember that there are always others available, that you can try them on like outfits to choose the one that serves you, and to remember it's never too late to choose differently. This exercise can free you from any old mental patterns keeping you stuck, give you fresh eyes for the same old situation, and help you choose from the perspective of your best self.

    193. EMBRACING YOUR VOICE: Your Uniqueness Is Your Magnetism

    If you’ve ever gotten stuck in your head about what to say or how to say it… this episode is for you! In this sneak peek from Chapter 5 of my new book SHINE BRIGHT, we’re talking about embracing your unique voice—the one thing no one else has. Your voice is your magnetism, your superpower, and the key to creating work that truly connects. In this video, we’ll talk about how to break through creative blocks, stop obsessing over perfection, and trust that your energy will connect with people more than the 'perfect' website, flawless audio, or endless tinkering ever will. If you’ve been delaying your dreams because you think you need better gear, a perfect brand, or the “right” words… this will remind you that your humans need you now, not later. 💛✨ 👉🏼 Get your copy of my new book SHINE BRIGHT here!!! 🤩https://www.amazon.com/Shine-Bright-Discover-Confidence-Difference/dp/B0FWXKQBKZ/ More resources to support your brightest life + biz: Free Workbook - Find Your Passion: https://hijessicajohnson.com/freebiesFree Workbook - Your Business Idea: https://hijessicajohnson.com/freebiesMy YouTube + free mini courses: https://www.youtube.com/@hijessicajohnsonMy Books - https://hijessicajohnson.com/booksBright Life Podcast: https://hijessicajohnson.com/podcastMy website: https://hijessicajohnson.com + SUBSCRIBE to hear when the next episode comes out 🎧 + Leave a REVIEW to support this podcast 💛⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠
