In this episode, we explore the difference between making decisions to escape versus making decisions to grow. These can be life-changing decisions, which may include changing jobs, careers, relationships, houses, cities, etc.

Too often, we make changes hoping they’ll fix our unhappiness or solve a problem.

We believe we will be happier 'there' versus 'here'.

But the truth is, our capacity to be happy is exactly the same, no matter the circumstance, because it depends on our thinking.

True transformation happens when we shift our mindset and make decisions from a place of strength, confidence, and clarity.

What You’ll Learn in This Episode:

• Why escaping problems doesn’t lead to lasting happiness.
• How to recognize when you’re making decisions from frustration or avoidance.
• The importance of shifting your mindset to make empowered choices.
• Practical steps to take when you’re considering a big change in your life.
• Why where you are now is the perfect starting point for creating what’s next.

Key Takeaways:

• Decisions made to escape something often lead to repeating the same patterns.
• Empowerment comes from clarity about what you want to create, not what you want to avoid.
• You don’t have to wait for circumstances to change—your perspective and mindset can transform everything.
• Every decision is an opportunity to step into the future version of yourself.

Actionable Insights:

1. Pause Before Acting: Check in with yourself—are you acting out of fear, frustration, or clarity?
2. Reframe Your Focus: Instead of asking, "What do I need to get away from?" ask, "What am I excited to move toward?"
3. Start Where You Are: Growth and empowerment don’t require perfect conditions; they start with your mindset right now.
