This episode is about opening ourselves up to opportunity by courageously embracing change. Today's caller, Marilyn, just turned 50 and feels lost in life and with no clear direction for her future. She has been playing it safe and fears making changes in her life. We discuss how she can listen to her intuition to be open to the opportunities that may come from shaking up her life.

Many of us have put up a wall to protect ourselves and as long as we are more invested in protecting ourselves from getting hurt, we are not going to be open to living into our full potential and achieving our heart's desire. Because that protective wall keeps us from being hurt and blocks out the amazing possibilities that can come from having an open heart.

And, often, the older we get, the harder it can be to make changes in our lives. Because we become comfortable and complacent. Some people are happy with complacency. They are content in a rinse-and-repeat life, comfort zones, and doing the same things. It is totally fine that they find meaning in other things. But we grow when we put ourselves through challenges and in new situations. So, no matter what your age, instead of settling and giving up on new experiences, make some changes.

Consider/Ask Yourself:

• Are you more comfortable playing it safe even if it means you don't love your life? Do you consider yourself risk-averse unless you weigh all the options and it seems like a smart thing to do?
• Do you feel disconnected from the way you were as a child? Maybe you were brave, creative, or outgoing as a child and as you've gotten older you've wondered where that person went?
• When you think about making a change do you focus too much on all things that could go wrong versus what could go right?
