009 – Alix Penning: Being the Hero of Your Own Story

We all like to think of ourselves as the star of our show, the hero of our life story… yet so many of us sit back and let fear steer the ship. Today I’m joined by my friend Alix Penning to talk about the ways fear will seriously eff up your life if you let it, and how to get unstuck and moving forward with confidence.

I’ve never really thought of myself as the star of my own life story. Star in a rock band? Absolutely. But I never really thought of my life as a movie until this conversation with my friend Alix Penning. It might seem a little diva-esque or egomaniacal to think of yourself in this manner, but trust me… you’re gonna want to give it a try after you listen to this one.

Can’t-Miss Moments From This Episode:

  • Are you unconsciously playing the sidekick in the story of your life? How to get back into the driver seat and be the hero in your own show
  • Natural talent is great, but it’s not going to get you to your goals on its own… here’s what will
  • Three questions to ask yourself – these will help get to the root of your fears, so you can punch those fears in the face and get moving again
  • Alix’s “Disney Princess” trick for getting yourself unstuck, whenever you hit a wall or feel overwhelmed (don’t blame me if this one gets Frozen songs stuck in your head)
  • The “S” word I can’t stand… what to say instead of “should” to shut down the automatic fear response that keeps you safe, secure, and stagnating

You don’t want to miss this one. Listen now!
