Thank you very much for all your support in 2022! It has been my honour to have you be a part of this community and I look forward to an exciting 2023.

My word for 2023 is POSSIBILITY. I want to live into all the possibilities for my life. I no longer want to define anything as realistic or unrealistic.

I encourage you to listen to the nudge inside of you. What dreams and goals have you thought about in the past that you've dismissed as unrealistic? Give those some airtime and some space to breathe. Write them down.

Anything is possible, if you truly want it.

So decide what you want and start living into the possibility.

Having difficult conversations can be challenging, whether with a loved one, friend, colleague, or employer. We delay having these conversations out of fear of how we will feel and of the worst-case scenario happening when we do go through with them. These conversations require us to be vulnerable and experience emotions such as disappointment, anger, and frustration. We must know how to approach these conversations proactively to make them less stressful.

Sometimes, one of the most difficult conversations we need to have is the one that has the potential to bring you closer or push you further away from the other person. Knowing how to approach such conversations will help you to prepare and have them. A few things can help us better navigate these conversations and put us in the right frame of mind to go ahead. In this episode, Trista explains how fear keeps us from having difficult conversations and what we can do to allow all the emotions to have the honest and open conversation we really want.

Being a beginner is an important part of the process of being a human being. We started

learning at the beginning of our lives. We learn how to walk, talk, ride a bicycle, read, play

basketball, and do everything in our lives. We also start out as beginners from time to time,

but once we reach adulthood, we get to the peak, and we’re not as exposed to the

opportunities to learn and take on new things as before. We all have unlimited capacity, but

most of us don’t try and find what we’re capable of. We settle for our current abilities, what

we’ve already learned, and the limits we create for ourselvese stop growing.

Finding out what our capacity is and what is possible is all about knowing that we’re meant

for more. Sometimes, we know this but don’t act on it because we fear being uncomfortable

and vulnerable. The desire to grow and evolve is in our DNA. We just need to protect it,

nurture it and not let it be drowned out by the distractions that can come in life. Moving to

the next level is our natural progression. It’s our purpose, and we’re here to discover our

potential, make things happen and create the life we desire.

In today’s episode, I share insight on the importance of allowing yourself to be a beginner

and how you can go about doing that. There is going to be fear and discomfort, but if you

allow them and get through them, you will make progress and get to everything you want.

Everything you ever wanted is on the other side of fear and discomfort, embrace the

mistakes, stop comparing yourself with others, and keep showing up for yourself.

Tune in for more insights!
