22. Why trying to “just survive” is holding you back and keeping you stuck

Today’s episode is about why trying to “just survive” is holding you back, keeping you stuck, unmotivated and unhappy. 

Before I get a bunch of hate on this, hear me out.

I'm not saying your situation doesn't suck. I know. Times are tough for a LOT of people. I don’t know your exact situation or circumstances or what’s happening in your life. 

But I'm also not a believer that your circumstances dictate your experience, your happiness, or your potential.

You are not your circumstances - you are SO much more powerful than that.

I know things seem tough right now, but I wanted to put together this special, short episode just for you to inspire and lift you up.

Listen in to hear: 

- 3 simple ways to shift from "survival" to "sustainment" and even thriving

- A fun, practical way to shift your perspective (besides me just telling you to "change your perspective)

- A simple question you can ask yourself to make TODAY (and any day) better

Here’s the deal: I can’t change your situation, no matter how challenging it feels and difficult it is.  I wish I could… But I can’t. 

But I also know this: You don’t need me to. You are stronger than you know, and more powerful than you realize. 

I promise you this:  by the end of this episode, you’ll feel inspired, refreshed, and ready to shift OUT of survival mode - into sustainment, thriving, and beyond.


Here are the juicy bits you can look forward to:

  • My disclaimer for this episode 3:30

  • The different kinds of survival mode, and why it’s important to differentiate between them 5:10

  • Why I’m talking about the energy and perspective you bring to your situation (and not just your situation) 7:20

  • Why waiting for something to happen to feel a certain way is an illusion 8:45

  • How to shift from survival to sustainability 11:25

    • Ask yourself what you are getting from survival mode? 11:35

    • Choose a different perspective 14:25

    • Keep it simple 21:00

  • What I want you to remember: you are made for so much more 24:40
