Welcome to the Change Your Thinking, Change Your Life podcast: today we’re talking about sure-ism over optimism, because hope is powerful, but certainty creates momentum. When you become deeply sure about what you want (your vision, your health, your joy, your future) you stop waiting for “one day” and start living from a place of knowing. So ask yourself: what are you truly sure about, and what would it take to become even more certain... because that’s where the impossible starts becoming real.

Michelle shares real examples from her life, her coachingwork, and the Certified Growth Leader program to show how one aligned idea can change everything. She also talks about preparing for what you want (not what you fear), acting as the future version of yourself, and ignoring the naysayers who can’t see your vision.

Whether you want CEUs, high-level training support, community, or help growing your speaking/training business, now is the time to explore ifthis program is right for you.
