This Shouldn't Be So Hard for Me


Listen Later

Have you ever found yourself frustrated that something in your business feels harder than it should? Maybe it’s marketing, selling, setting boundaries, or just keeping up—and you catch yourself thinking, Why is this so difficult for me when it seems so easy for everyone else? If so, you’re not alone. This is one of the most common thoughts my clients have. And the worst part? The more you believe it should be easier, the harder it actually feels.

In this episode, I'm unpacking the sneaky ways self-judgment keeps you from finding helpful solutions. I’ll walk you through a 4 step process to move from stuck and shaming yourself to self-compassion and problem-solving. I'll break down the layers of judgment that make things feel even harder than they need to be, how to shift out of resistance, and why the solutions that actually work for you probably won’t look like what you see other people doing. Plus, I'll share some unexpected life hacks (sticker charts aren't just for kids!) and the moment I realized I could no longer be trusted to remember anything without a system.

You will learn:

  • My 4 step process to help you tackle hard things in your business with more ease and less self-judgement.
  • The sneaky thought that will instantly make things more difficult for you (and how to catch yourself before falling into this trap!)
  • The simple exercise you can do right now to start showing yourself more compassion (instead of being your own worst critic)
  • The surprising solutions my clients have used to make overcoming business challenges simpler (proof that whatever works, works!)


If you’ve been feeling stuck in frustration, thinking you should be able to work through something on willpower alone, this episode will give you the permission—and the process—to be kinder to yourself and make things easier. Tune in now!
