    Why Your Next Season Begins with Permission, Not Courage

    Most people think they need more courage before making a life-changing decision. I believe they need something else first. Permission. In this episode, I explore why every meaningful change begins with giving yourself permission to ask, explore, and begin. You'll learn: • Why permission often comes before courage • How small decisions become transformational moments • Why "What if?" can become the doorway to your next chapter • How to stop waiting for someone else's approval • A simple way to begin building the life you were created to live If you're navigating a career transition, retirement, reinvention, or simply sensing that life is asking something different of you, I hope this conversation encourages you to take your first faithful step. Remember: Permission is what opens the door. What permission have you been withholding from yourself? 👇 Subscribe for weekly conversations on leadership, purpose, midlife, career transitions, retirement, and living life your own way. 📬 Continue this conversation on my Substack. 🎙 Join me also on Youtube.

    The Job Everyone Thought Was Beneath Me...Set Me Free

    Years ago, after earning my MBA and building a successful corporate career, I made a decision that confused almost everyone around me. I became an aerobics instructor. People questioned the choice because they evaluated it through the lens of status, prestige, and professional success. What they couldn't see was that the experience was preparing me for everything that would come next. In this episode, I share the five lessons that decision taught me and how they continue to shape every new season of my life. You'll discover: • Why the right fit matters more than prestige. • How to trust your own vision when others don't understand your choices. • Why money isn't the only way life pays you. • How to move forward even when you don't have a crowd cheering you on. • Why exploring different parts of your personality may be one of the greatest investments you'll ever make. If you're navigating a career transition, retirement, entrepreneurship, ministry, or simply asking, "What's next?" this conversation will encourage you to trust yourself and choose the path that aligns with who you are becoming. Because sometimes the decision everyone questions becomes the one that changes your life.

    The 5 People You Need in Your Circle Before a Big Decision

    Who's really in your circle? Years ago, I heard a phrase I've never forgotten: it's not about the competence you don't have — it's about the company you keep. That statement is so true because none of us becomes our best selves on our own. In this unscripted, unedited episode, I share the 5 types of people we all need around us before making a major life decision — retirement, marriage, divorce, a move, a new career, a whole new chapter. You might find all five in one person, or you might need five different people. Either way, it's time to take an honest inventory of your circle. The 5 people — and the gift each one gives you: • The Intellect → CLARITY • The Insight → PERSPECTIVE • The Imagination → POSSIBILITY • The Intuition → DISCERNMENT • The Intermediary → CONNECTION My hope is that your life looks like a garden of possibility — not "gutter living," where we shrink ourselves to fit our circumstances. Your future does not have to be a continuation of your past. If this episode spoke to you, please share it and subscribe. I can't grow the podcast without you and your support. 🔔 SUBSCRIBE for weekly, unscripted conversations on purpose, reinvention, faith, and living life your own way. 📩 Join my newsletter — what I'm learning in my own life and in the lives of my clients, plus this week's 5-question circle inventory: www.SharRonJamison.com 👑 The Reclamation Circle — for women over 50 navigating transition together (now enrolling): www.SharRonJamison.com 🤝 Work with me one-on-one: www.SharRonJamison.com #YourCircle #CompanyYouKeep #DecidingToSoar #WomenOver50 #MidlifeReinvention Want more from SharRon and The Jamison Group? 📖 WORDS OF WISDOM: SharRon’s Latest Book, Deciding To Soar 2 Higher, Unwrapping Your Purpose. https://www.amazon.com/Sharron-Jamison/e/B00JE8L0Q2s 📩 SPEAKING and Coaching: https://sharronjamison.com/contact/ 🧠 MINDSET: FREE training By SharRon: Belonging To Me: Living Free From Fear https://www.soarwithsharron.com/belong-podcast 💜 HEART: Self-Led Training: You Can Depend On You: Making Your Own Rules: https://www.youcandependonyou.com/waitlist 📰 WEEKLY WISDOM: Subscribe to SharRon’s weekly newsletter: https://www.soarwithsharron.com/newsletter 💻 WEBSITE: Visit her website or read her latest blog: www.SharRonJamison.com 📰  Related Articles: Subscribe to SharRon’s Substack, The Sovereign Soul: https://substack.com/@sharronjamison 🔔 Subscribe to My YouTube Channel: https://www.youtube.com/@SharronJamison ☕ SUPPORT SharRon: Buy SharRon a coffee or support her work https://www.soarwithsharron.com/donate 📧 EMAIL SharRon: SharRon@SharRonJamison.com 💁🏽OTHER RESOURCES: https://solo.to/sharronjamison LIKE THIS EPISODE?

    Don't Let Their NO Override What You KNOW

    How many times have you been told to wait? Wait until you have more experience. Wait until the timing is right. Wait until you're ready. In this unscripted, unedited episode, I share a truth that changed my life: sometimes "wait" is wisdom — but sometimes "wait" is just a socially acceptable way to say no. And I never want their N-O to override what you K-N-O-W. When no gym would hire me in the 1990s because I didn't fit their image of what "fit" looked like, I stopped asking for permission and asked a better question: Where can I serve? That one shift took me from rejection to Good Morning America. If you KNOW you've been called to something, this is your permission to begin. I'll walk you through the 4 C's that moved me forward when others told me to wait: • Conviction — the calling you can't shake • Courage — clarity comes in the moving • Creativity — when one door closes, build another • Community — support follows movement So.....Write the book. Start the business. Begin again. You don't need their approval — you need your own conviction. 👉If this episode met you right where you are, here's how we stay connected: 👉Follow Deciding to Soar so every new episode comes straight to you — no waiting required. 👉Leave a rating and a review. It's one of the simplest ways to help another woman who's been told to wait find this message when she needs it. 👉 Join my weekly newsletter and step into The Reclamation Circle at www.SharRonJamison.com — for those who are done waiting and ready to begin. 👉And share this episode with one person who needs permission to start. Don't let their NO override what you KNOW because the best is yet to come. #DecidingToSoar #LivingLifeYourOwnWay #SharronJamieson #PersonalGrowth #Waiting #GodsGuidance #InnerKnow #FollowYourDreams #Conviction #Courage #Clarity #Creativity #EmbraceDiversity #ServingCommunity #TakeAction #NoPermissionNeeded #UnconventionalPath #ReclamationCircle #TrustYourJourney #Empowerment #CreateImpact #BelieveInYourself #MindsetShift #BreakBarriers #EngageYourAudience Want more from SharRon and The Jamison Group? 📖 WORDS OF WISDOM: SharRon’s Latest Book, Deciding To Soar 2 Higher, Unwrapping Your Purpose. https://www.amazon.com/Sharron-Jamison/e/B00JE8L0Q2s 📩 SPEAKING and Coaching: https://sharronjamison.com/contact/ 🧠 MINDSET: FREE training By SharRon: Belonging To Me: Living Free From Fear https://www.soarwithsharron.com/belong-podcast 💜 HEART: Self-Led Training: You Can Depend On You: Making Your Own Rules: https://www.youcandependonyou.com/waitlist 📰 WEEKLY WISDOM: Subscribe to SharRon’s weekly newsletter: https://www.soarwithsharron.com/newsletter 💻 WEBSITE: Visit her website or read her latest blog: www.SharRonJamison.com 📰  Related Articles: Subscribe to SharRon’s Substack, The Sovereign Soul: https://substack.com/@sharronjamison 🔔 Subscribe to My YouTube Channel: https://www.youtube.com/@SharronJamison ☕ SUPPORT SharRon: Buy SharRon a coffee or support her work https://www.soarwithsharron.com/donate 📧 EMAIL SharRon: SharRon@SharRonJamison.com 💁🏽OTHER RESOURCES: https://solo.to/sharronjamison LIKE THIS EPISODE?

    What Happens When the Place Is the Same, But You Have Changed

    Sometimes the hardest part of change is not learning a new place. It is learning how to trust yourself in a familiar place when you are no longer the same person who left it. In this deeply personal episode, I share about returning to the gym after illness and surgery and the surprising lessons I learned about recovery, grief, courage, identity, and beginning again. Together, we'll explore six reflections for anyone navigating a season of transition, including career changes, caregiving, loss, burnout, recovery, reinvention, or personal growth. This conversation is an invitation to honor what was lost, celebrate what is growing, and trust yourself as you become who this season is calling you to be. You can also enjoy the video version of the podcast on YouTube. https://youtu.be/P0QBbNiQ1Jg Thank you for joining me!

    Are You Showing Off, Showing Up, or Showing the Way?

    A few days ago, I shared a vulnerable video about my healing journey after chronic illness and the experience left me reflecting deeply on how people interpret growth, healing, confidence, and visibility. Three people watched the exact same video. One person said I was “showing off.” Another said I was “showing up.” And another said I was “showing the way.” That moment reminded me that people often respond to our healing and transformation through the lens of their own experiences, insecurities, beliefs, wounds, and worldview. In this episode, I talk honestly about: • rebuilding confidence after illness • the emotional weight words can carry • why discernment matters during transition seasons • how to protect your peace while growing • and the four kinds of people we all need in our lives during difficult seasons This conversation is for anyone navigating change, healing, burnout, grief, reinvention, leadership pressure, uncertainty, or personal transformation. ❤️ IN THIS COMMUNITY, WE BELIEVE: • healing is sacred • growth is often uncomfortable • reinvention is possible • and the best is still yet to come ❤️ WAYS TO CONNECT: 🔔 Subscribe to the podcast ⭐ Leave a review on Apple Podcasts 📤 Share this episode with someone who may need encouragement 💌 Join the newsletter community 🎥 Subscribe on YouTube for face-to-face conversations ✨ Learn more about the Reclamation Circle And remember: May you have the wisdom to recognize who is safe for your spirit. May you have the courage to distance yourself from voices that diminish your becoming. May you be surrounded by people who can celebrate your healing without competing with it. May you find champions who help you build what God placed inside of you. May you never shrink your light just to make insecure people comfortable. And may you remember that you can always SOAR HIGHER because the best is yet to come. #Podcast #PersonalGrowth #HealingJourney #WomenOver50 #LifeTransitions #EmotionalHealing #Leadership #DecidingToSoar #LivingLifeYourWay #Resilience #ChronicIllness #Strength #Perception #PersonalGrowth #MindfulLanguage #SupportSystems #Celebrators #Champions #ConstructiveCritique #Confidants #TransformationJourney #HealthyRelationships #NavigatingChange #Empowerment #SelfAcceptance #PositiveMindset #Authenticity #CommunitySupport #YouAreNotAlone #StrengthWithin #CourageToSoar #Blessings #Evolving #LifeLessons Want more from SharRon and The Jamison Group? 📖 WORDS OF WISDOM: SharRon’s Latest Book, Deciding To Soar 2 Higher, Unwrapping Your Purpose. https://www.amazon.com/Sharron-Jamison/e/B00JE8L0Q2s 📩 SPEAKING and Coaching: https://sharronjamison.com/contact/ 🧠 MINDSET: FREE training By SharRon: Belonging To Me: Living Free From Fear https://www.soarwithsharron.com/belong-podcast 💜 HEART: Self-Led Training: You Can Depend On You: Making Your Own Rules: https://www.youcandependonyou.com/waitlist 📰 WEEKLY WISDOM: Subscribe to SharRon’s weekly newsletter: https://www.soarwithsharron.com/newsletter 💻 WEBSITE: Visit her website or read her latest blog: www.SharRonJamison.com 📰  Related Articles: Subscribe to SharRon’s Substack, The Sovereign Soul: https://substack.com/@sharronjamison 🔔 Subscribe to My YouTube Channel: https://www.youtube.com/@SharronJamison ☕ SUPPORT SharRon: Buy SharRon a coffee or support her work https://www.soarwithsharron.com/donate 📧 EMAIL SharRon: SharRon@SharRonJamison.com 💁🏽OTHER RESOURCES: https://solo.to/sharronjamison LIKE THIS EPISODE?

    Layoffs, Loss & Life Changes: You're Not Falling Apart — You're Transforming (5 Stages Explained)

    Are you going through a layoff, a loss, or a life change that has left you wondering who you even are anymore? I want you to know that you are not broken. You are transforming. In this episode of Deciding to Soar: Living Life Your Own Way, I share a framework I call the 5 Stages of Identity Transformation. Whether I am working through issues in my own life or working with clients navigating career shifts, chronic illness, grief, divorce, or a spiritual crisis — I keep seeing the same pattern. And I want to give you language for what you're living through, because when you can name it, you can move through it. So, in this episode, I share: • Why your discontent is your soul signaling that something no longer fits • How disruption reveals what can never go back to the way it was — and why that's sacred, not shameful • What the detangling process really looks like as you separate your authentic self from who you were conditioned to be • Why the disconnection stage feels like wandering in the wilderness — and how to stay grounded • How I define direction — and why it's about alignment, not perfection This episode is for anyone in a season of transition who is exhausted from performing a version of themselves that no longer fits. I hope it reminds you that you are not alone and that something inside you is simply asking for deeper honesty, deeper alignment, and deeper peace. 🙏 If this episode resonated with you: ✅ Subscribe so you never miss an episode ⭐ Leave a review — it takes 2 minutes and helps me reach more people who are navigating exactly what you're going through 💌 Share this episode with someone you know who is in a season of transition — sometimes the most powerful gift we can give is letting someone know they are not alone.
