In Episode 80 of Your Words Unleashed, Leslie Wang walks you through one of her favorite tools for getting unstuck: a simple but powerful future self visualization. If you’ve been feeling overwhelmed or uncertain—about your career, your writing, or just life in general—this exercise can help you reconnect with what really matters.

Leslie shares how imagining a single day in her life 10 years into the future gave her clarity and even helped her make a long-held dream come true. 

You don’t need to have it all figured out—just a notebook, a little time, and a willingness to imagine something better.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

  • Why future self journaling is so effective (and fun!)
  • A step-by-step guide to writing your vision
  • How imagining your “worst case” can actually be calming
  • Ways to use your vision to guide real-life choices
  • Why this works even if it feels a little woo-woo

Grab your pen and get inspired. Full transcript and links at YourWordsUnleashed.com/80.
