Going For Something episodes
- who is actually standing in your way?
mostly for me the biggest detractor from my own success is ME.
my fear. my toxic mindchatter. my self judgement. (it was SO harsh). in fact, all of this (and more!) was in my way.
and even now i’ve worked on so much in my life:
its usually still ‘me’ who i need to up level past in order to get what I want and grow.
this means - theres still more scary things for me to work on to uplevel! (wooo, eeek, yay, noooo - all the feels 🤣)
In todays episode, I talk about my own work on this, my successes, my failure, & what i’m working on.

9 min - Why don’t I ‘have it together’ (like everyone else does)?‘should actually be doing this’? Why dont I have it all together?an episode when we get to normalise these feelings and at the same time as normalising these feelings, normalise being confident that we are on the right path**Today we talked about:**rationally we all know its totally normal, but when we find ourselves questioning these feelings, it can sometimes lead us to take action from a desperate place.I felt very lost, and I didn’t know what was ‘for me’ and I didnt know what my path was, and I didn’t know if I should just accept it. I didnt know what was what and I didnt have any confidence in any of it… (PUT THIS AS A QUOTE IN STORIES WITH A LINK TO THE PODCAST)even if I might be going about this in the wrong way, I am on the right path and i am going to work it out..the connection between - doing what we say we are going to do and our self worth & self trust.how to build up when you feel your whole life needs a change in direction.how to ensure that the hard days dont get accompanied by the weight of total catastrophemy “I need to make a change” momentstories I was telling myself around struggling.my failed website & why I was a wreck the whole time.my success and finally admitting what I wantedwhat i’m still working on - confidence in my path, getting buzzed and excited about this stuff!its natural to compare sometimes!Where you can find me:my instagram - https://www.instagram.com/going_for_something/my website - https://lauraferrara.co.uk/the lucky dip newsletter - https://forms.aweber.com/form/23/282056123.htm17 min

About Going For Something
From the publisher's feed
A podcast about productivity, going for our goals, our mindset and the problems that we may face (and the challenges that we can overcome) as we work towards our goals.
failure, success and what we are working on now...
(with a big focus on failure - everyone has failed or given up on something in life - we often still fear failure or slip into 'giving up. despite this, this podcast will show you that you can still succeed)
