What if the thing you're most afraid of isn’t actually the problem—but the story you’re telling yourself about it is?

In this episode, I sit down with transformation coach Lisa Andria to talk about what happens in midlife when we’re craving change but feel stuck in fear, doubt, or the belief that we might mess everything up. Lisa shares her story of leaving the corporate world, healing from burnout, and building a life that aligns with her purpose—and she gives us the tools to do the same.

We talk about limiting beliefs, the mental blocks that keep us from moving forward, and why midlife is the perfect time to break free from the patterns that no longer serve us.

BY THE TIME YOU FINISH LISTENING, YOU’LL DISCOVER:

✔ What limiting beliefs are and how they secretly shape your decisions
 ✔ How to recognize the emotional blocks holding you back in midlife
 ✔ A simple phrase (“plug the hose!”) that can interrupt negative thought spirals

🎯 OMG Moment: What if trusting yourself makes all the difference?

Take Action
The next time fear or doubt creeps in, pause and notice the story you're telling yourself. Then ask: “Is this actually true?” Shift the narrative and remind yourself you can always begin again—with trust, not perfection.
