Episode Summary:

What if being realistic is actually what's holding you back? In this empowering episode, Liz Fernandez unpacks how embracing unrealistic thinking has been the key to creating a life of freedom, joy, and abundance.

As a Latina, eldest daughter of immigrants, Liz grew up believing that stability was the goal and that dreaming big was for other people. But she realized that being realistic was just another way of playing small.

In this episode, Liz shares the bold, unrealistic choices that changed everything for her—from turning down a six-figure therapy job to moving to Mexico City—and how you can start rewriting the rules for your own life.

This episode will inspire you to: ❤️‍🔥 Break free from the limitations of being "realistic" ❤️‍🔥 Trust your vision even when others don't understand it ❤️‍🔥 Take bold, imperfect steps toward the life you want ❤️‍🔥 Redefine success on your terms

This is your permission slip to stop waiting for the "right time" and start going after your biggest dreams—right now.
