In this episode of the Flourish Academy Podcast, Heather Lahtinen and Nicole Begley dive deep into the internal tug-of-war that keeps us from fully committing to our goals. They explore how subconscious thoughts of “another option” can quietly undermine your success and reveal how your self-concept plays a pivotal role in breaking through mental barriers.
They shared six powerful questions designed to help you gain clarity, identify your fears, and uncover what’s really stopping you from going all in on your dreams. Whether you’re building a photography business or pursuing another passion, these questions will inspire you to let go of hesitation and take bold, intentional action toward “Option A.”
