Listen Later

No more excuses! It’s time to stop blaming others and take responsibility for your life, because making excuses holds you back from your personal growth… so this week I’m teaching you how to stop making excuses and take responsibility, for the sake of your mental health and general well-being.

If you’ve ever wondered about the relationship between excuses and mental health, and whether or not making excuses can be harmful for your wellbeing (spoiler alert: it can) then this is the episode that’s going to help you to be accountable for your choices. I’ll help you take a good look at why you make excuses, and figure out how to take responsibility for your life so you can make greater progress towards your goals and aspirations. 

So, let’s talk! 🙂
