MOTM #626: Confronting Your Gremlins with Rachel Strickland


Listen Later

Last week, Jill and I ran our third ever #BossUp event, and we were lucky enough to have the one and only Rachel Strickland as a speaker there, and what she said was so moving, I knew I needed to recast her old episode ASAP. Think of it as a little gift for those of you who wanted to come to #BossUp and couldn’t.

In this episode Rachel and I chatted about our “gremlins,” about impostor syndrome, and about seeking out rejection. I see so many people not creating, due to any number of fears, even when creating is what they want more than anything to do. That’s where Rachel comes in—she’s gonna help you do the damn thing.

Your creativity and desire are right there, all you need is to listen and take action. What is the thing you could never forgive yourself for not doing? Start there. Let that fire carry you, and create now. You can’t afford not to.

Let’s chat.

(This episode is a re-run. Original release date was August 1st, 2022.)
