I used to be afraid of setting goals because missing one felt like a personal failure. 
 
In this episode, I'm reflecting on how my relationship with goals has changed, what happens when life responds to your effort in unexpected ways, and why I'm learning to trust timing instead of forced outcomes.

How Do You Measure A Year? | Ep 49

Society loves to label people who are bold, confident, and direct as ”bitches”. But here’s the thing—shrinking to avoid that label doesn’t serve you or anyone else. This podcast is about owning your strength, speaking up, and showing up fully as yourself.

For most of my life, I cared deeply about what people thought of me. I was the “good, nice girl,” which worked… to an extent.  When I pivoted from a career as a professional performer to the cutthroat world of real estate, I struggled with this fear of being called a name for being bold and direct. But I learned that showing up as my authentic self—unapologetically bold—wasn’t just freeing; it was the key to success for me and my clients.

This podcast is for anyone who’s tired of shrinking themselves to fit other people’s expectations. Whether you’re rebuilding your confidence, stepping into leadership, or just figuring out how to say “no” without guilt, this is the space for you.

We’ll dive into stories of transformation—mine, and those of incredible guests who’ve rewired their mindsets and communication styles to make big moves. I’ll share tools and insights to help you show up bigger and bolder in your own life, and, spoiler alert: there might be ruffle some feathers along the way.

If you’re ready to stop apologizing for taking up space and start owning your power, this podcast is for you. Follow along and let’s rewrite the rules—together.

Liz Hake is a Seattle-based multi-hyphenate...From performing on stages around the world, to building a successful real estate practice,  speaking from stages and leading her clients on their road towards engaging and authentic communication is the name of the game.
