Summary
How many times have you said that you'd do whatever it is you want to do "someday"? In reality, someday is this indefinite time in the future that never really comes. Today, I want to focus on your someday. We'll discuss the roadblocks that keep us from pursuing the things that we say matter most to us & how we can take actionable steps towards prioritizing and achieving those dreams.

What's In This Episode:
- 3 roadblocks of Someday Syndrome and how you can address them
- Giving yourself permission to pursue what matters most to you
