72. Why 'Just Start' Advice Doesn't Work for Women in Their 30s and 40s


Listen Later

If the advice to “just start” actually worked… we all would’ve done something by now, right?

In this episode, we’re talking about why so many women in their 30s and 40s feel stuck, and why it’s not because you’re lazy, unmotivated, or scared.

We talk about the different types of stuck-ness and why change feels heavier when you’re older compared to your 20s. I also share about the 4 pillars that helped me move forward, and why I believe it’ll help you move forward too.

If you’ve been feeling behind, overwhelmed, or frustrated with yourself, you have to watch this now.
