How to Create a Life You’re Actually Excited to Live

I am so fucking excited about my life right now. And I don’t say that because everything is perfect. I say it because I know what it feels like to experience loss, grief, trauma and moments where you genuinely don’t know how you’re going to find your way through. Those experiences taught me something I wish I could somehow transfer directly to you: Your life is precious, and it is happening right now. Not when you have more money. Not when your business grows. Not when you find the relationship. Not when the kids get older. Not when you finally feel confident enough. Right now. In this episode, I want to talk about the areas of our lives where we’ve accepted stagnation, unhappiness or “this is just how it is”, and what happens when you decide you’re no longer willing to live that way. In this episode: • what feeling stagnant can reveal about what you actually want • why your hardest seasons can become the beginning of an expansion • how I’ve learned to turn fear into excitement when I’m doing scary things • why creating a life you love ultimately becomes your responsibility Maybe you’ve outgrown the person you used to be. Maybe the relationship, career, business, friendship or life that once fit you doesn’t anymore. That doesn’t necessarily mean something has gone wrong. Maybe you’re expanding. You are here. You are breathing. There are still things you want to experience, people you want to love, places you want to go and dreams you want to chase. Go fucking live.
