This Life or Something Better

Have you ever caught yourself waiting - waiting for a sign, someone's approval, or the "right" moment - to make a change or finally be yourself? In this episode of This Life or Something Better, we dive into the unconscious pattern many of us carry from childhood: asking for permission before we act. Whether it's in relationships, career, or the way we express ourselves, this habit of seeking approval can quietly hold us back from living fully.

Together, we'll explore where this pattern comes from, who you might still be unconsciously waiting on, and—most importantly—how to take your power back. It's time to stop waiting and start giving yourself the green light to live your life on your own terms.

Today's episode is a topic that I think every one of us has struggled with at one time or another - The Illusion of Control. While we may like our life to be in some order, control is another level of that. It is often based in fear and lack of psychological safety. When we feel out of control, we either react or we acquiesce. In those moments we are not allowing our authentic self to be seen, felt or heard.

In this episode, we'll unpack the illusion of control and explore the two things we can actually have power over. As we are in season of 25 Questions in 2025, I'll finish up with two reflection questions that you can journal on to help you find out where control might show up in your life and how you release it.

When we make big life changes, our minds tend to focus on everything we're leaving behind instead of what we're stepping into. Even when the change is positive, starting a new career, leaving a toxic relationship, prioritizing our well-being, there's often a pull to mourn what's ending instead of celebrating what's beginning.

In this episode, we're diving into why we do this, what it costs us, and how to shift our perspective from loss to gain. I'll share insights on how the brain processes change, why the past can feel safer than the unknown, and how to reframe your thinking so you can move forward with confidence.

Plus, I'll leave you with a journaling prompt to help you reflect on the changes in your life.

Tune in, take a breath, and let's start seeing change through a new lens.

Think about all the unfinished business in your life - projects, uncomfortable conversations or even simple tasks. There is a reason we put things off. In the moment, avoidance feels like relief. However, that relief is only temporary. Over time, what we avoid lingers, adding weight to our minds, creating stress and keeping us stuck.

In this episode, Priscilla addresses the topic of unfinished business. Whether it be a goal, a project or that pile of papers sitting on your desk, she will help you understand your delay tactics and give you some ideas on how to be a finisher. Stay to the end for this episodes reflection questions to help you sort through your habits and help you take your first step to completion.

What if you approached your life with a Beginner's Mind? What if you could admit to yourself that you don't know anything? A beginner's mind is about approaching life as if it's brand new, even when you've been there before. It's seeing familiar situations, relationships or challenges through a lens of curiosity, not assumption When we allow ourselves to explore with that openness, we make room for new experiences, fresh perspectives and unexpected solutions.

In this episode, Priscilla addresses how in order to make big changes in life, we often have to have a beginner's mind. A beginner's mind allows up to get out of the robotic mode and explore new possibilities and opportunities. She also talks about life being an adventure, not a chore. If we live with curiosity and creativity, we can move beyond stuck and begin to see the miracles that are all around us.

There's a journaling prompt at the end for you to ponder that will help you move toward your something better.

We were all souls prior to coming into the human experience. As we came into being human, we had to rely on others to help us navigate our life. This process goes on well into our teens and it creates who we are as a human. Sometimes this primal family we were born into works out, and other times it doesn't. Either way, the primal family is the place where we set a foundation of learning for ourselves. Our beliefs are formed. Our behaviors are formed. Our navigation of relationships is formed. It may not always be fun, but it is a process.

On this episode, we'll explore the role of our primal family and how we can best navigate the learning we received. Priscilla explore Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs and applies it to growing up within our primal family. We'll finish off the episode with a challenge that may help you to see your family in a different light.
