Epi 29: How to Give Yourself Permission & Why It’s Necessary for Your Goals to Thrive!

As we begin to close any year, it’s natural to move our mindset into what we desire to create for ourselves in the next 365 days. After all, that is why we set intentions, resolutions, and goals, but there’s one factor that must come first—a factor that most people bypass and then stand back and can’t figure out why life never seems to work out for them. What is this factor? It’s permission—it’s making affirmative, action-based choices that allow us to move into our highest and greatest intentions.

This week we’re deep diving in a two-part, one-on-one conversation about permission and choice, and then next week, we’ll tie it all together in a way that allows us to bring our intentions into fruition, not only for the new year but for a lifetime.
