As I kick off Season 11 of the Liz Career Coaching Podcast, I’m inviting you to slow down and pause before rushing into new goals, plans, or decisions.

A new year often brings pressure to do more, achieve more, and figure everything out quickly. In this episode, I share why I believe clarity doesn’t come from pushing harder it comes from self-reflection and intentional pauses. I talk about how journaling helps me recognize when my goals start to feel fuzzy or when I’m chasing things without really understanding why.

I also share a personal and vulnerable story about stepping outside my comfort zone. It reminded me what it feels like to be a beginner again, to face fear and ego, and to choose growth anyway.

This episode is a gentle reminder to give yourself permission to try, even when you don’t feel ready.
